| Reverse description | The central field presents a full-length color portrait of Mirror Universe Spock, depicted with his characteristic goatee and dressed in a blue Starfleet sciences uniform with arms crossed, a dagger and sash visible at his waist. To the left of the figure, the Terran Empire insignia — a stylized dagger piercing a globe atop an ornate staff — is rendered in gilt relief against a stippled star-field background. Faint continental outlines suggestive of a planetary map appear in the mid-field behind the figure. The legend 'TERRAN EMPIRE' arcs boldly across the upper field, with 'STAR TREK' inscribed along the outermost rim above it, and 'MIRROR UNIVERSE SPOCK' along the lower rim. The copyright notice 'TM & © 2023 CBS. ARR.' appears in small lettering within the lower field. The coin border is decorated with a repeating chevron or arrow motif. |

| Additional information |
The "Mirror Universe" episode of the original Star Trek series aired in October 1967 and introduced a parallel Federation built on assassination and conquest — a concept that proved durable enough to anchor storylines across five subsequent Trek series. This coin belongs to a wave of licensed numismatic issues capitalizing on that franchise's sustained commercial reach, produced for Samoa under its standing arrangement as an issuing authority for collectible series that have no domestic circulation intent whatsoever.
Gold-plated iron is an unusual substrate choice — cheaper than zinc alloy and magnetically responsive, which distinguishes these pieces immediately from standard collector issues.
