| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-colour depiction of the Class F Shuttlecraft Galileo (registry NCC-1701/7, U.S.S. Enterprise) rendered in detailed profile against a dramatic space environment, with a luminous planetary body and rocky terrain visible in the background field. The vessel's name 'Galileo' is inscribed on the hull in script lettering, and the registry markings 'NCC-1701/7' and 'U.S.S. Enterprise' are clearly visible. The legend 'CLASS F SHUTTLECRAFT' arcs across the upper field and 'STAR TREK' appears at the top periphery, with 'GALILEO' at the bottom. A decorative arrow motif borders the coloured central field. The copyright notice 'TM & © 2023 CBS. ARR.' appears in the lower exergue area. |

This issue is part of a broader wave of licensed Star Trek numismatic products that accelerated after ViacomCBS consolidated the franchise's merchandising rights around 2019–2021. Samoa — administered through the New Zealand currency framework but retaining autonomous issuing authority — has become a favored jurisdiction for novelty commemoratives precisely because it imposes few constraints on composition or format. Gold-plated iron is unusual even by that standard; most comparable pieces use silver or copper-nickel as the substrate.
