About each coin design:
First coin: The City on the Edge of Forever
Your coin design recreates a key scene from the 1967 Star Trek episode, The City on the Edge of Forever. Vibrant colour brings to life the engraved image ofCaptain James T.

The Guardian of Forever. Augmented reality technology enhances the overall design, recreating the illuminated qualities of the time-travelling portal that is an object of wonder. Engraved in a special
Star Trek font is the word "CANADA", the face value "20 DOLLARS" and the year "2016".

- Throughout the series, McCoy is frequently at odds with Spock over the Vulcan tendency to favour logic over emotion; despite their bickering, the two share a mutualrespect and a deep friendship.
DeForest Kelley, who portrayed McCoy, had originally been offered the role of Spock in 1964; he turned itdown. Before taking the role as the ship's doctor, whose catchphrases include "I'm a doctor, not a…"

- It took eight different takes to capture the avalanche of Tribbles depicted on the coin's reverse.
- Hundreds of Tribbles had to be created for this episode,which originally aired on December 29, 1967. Many were sewn using rolls of carpet, with surgical balloons or beanbags stuffed into them. Others were stuffed with a mechanical toy so that their movement could be captured on camera.
- The sounds "emitted" by Tribbles are a unique combination of cooing doves, screeching owls andshrinking balloons!
