Silver Ounce 2022 Chibi - Star Trek: Data, Coin from Niue - detailed information

Niue, a sovereign state in free association with New Zealand, uses two official legal tender currencies. The New Zealand Dollar is the circulation currency for daily transactions, while the government also authorises legal tender coins in the Niue Dollar currency for collector's purposes.

A number of mints issue a large variety of commemorative, bullion and collector coins under the authority of Niue. These coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to Niue itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes - typically, one ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag , where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum). Many of these feature movie characters. Some are also in innovative shapes, such as "Chibi".

Chibi (ちび or チビ) is a Japanese slang word describing something short (a thing, an animal or a person). The term is widely used to describe a specific style of caricature where characters are drawn in an exaggerated way: small and chubby, with stubby limbs and oversized heads. Coins of this type look like cartoon characters and have their corresponding shape; they are also very thick for their size.

Star Trek - The Next Generation aired from 1987 to 1994 and revisits the idea of the previously released original series to discover new worlds and learn about alien civilisations. The new generation of Starfleet officers, under the command of Jean-Luc Picard, include First Officer Riker, the android Data, the Klingon Lieutenant Worf, and the engineer Geordi La Forge.

The mint says about this coin: This 1oz pure silver Chibi Coin is shaped and coloured to resemble Data , with his notable yellow eyes, gold skin and wearing his gold Operations Division Starfleet uniform. Officially licensed, it is placed in an acrylic capsule for easy transporting of your precious collectible. It is then stored in a high-quality box that is surrounded by Star Trek-themed imagery. Printed on the back of the box is a Certificate of Authenticity and a serial number unique to the coin in the limited mintage of 2,000.

• 2020+ CHIBI COLLECTION by the New Zealand Mint

A phenomenon that has travelled far from its Japanese homeland, Chibi (ちび or チビ) is slang for ‘short’ and is applied to various pop culture genres today. Chief amongst those are the small, chubby caricatures with their tiny bodies and over-sized heads – also called super-deformed (SD). A popular style in anime and manga, and also with the Funko figures that are seemingly everywhere these days, we’re actually surprised the concept has taken this long to hit the numismatic world.

If anyone was going to do it, it would be pop-culture innovators the New Zealand Mint, who have an extensive catalogue of media franchises under their wing. These are perfect subjects for the Chibi treatment, and the first to get reimagined was cult superhero, Batman. Rather than go with the dour character from the excellent Nolan movies, the mint sensibly took a more comic-orientated approach, with some similarities to the style popularised in the camp Sixties TV series. The follow-up coins are equally whimsical and manage to be both an extreme caricature, and easily recognisable.

This was the first of the DC Comics Chibi Collection, which was soon joined by a Harry Potter series, and then a Star Wars one. In February 2021, Lord of the Rings appeared, followed by even more to the stage we’re at 20+ subsets. Each coin is numbered as part of its own collection, rather than as a unified Chibi series as a whole. Given the accelerated release schedule, that’s probably a wise decision. Amazingly, given the near $100 USD price tag per coin, the mint is issuing four per month.

In September 2022, the first two-ounce ‘Mega Chibi’ appeared, with a ‘The Batman’ movie coin. We’re expecting more. A disappointing direction for the series, as we’d have thought that, given the nature of Chibi, a smaller sized range, perhaps half, or even quarter-ounce in weight, would’ve been the way to entice new and/or younger collectors. January 2023 saw not only the addition of the giant Marvel franchise to Chibi, but also a randomly placed (10%) fully gilded coin.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES

Star trek: the next generation, star wars: the movies, star wars: the mandalorian, star wars: book of boba fett, star wars: andor, star wars: obi-wan, star wars: ahsoka, indiana jones, mickey and friends, disney princesses, dc comics movies, marvel comics, harry potter movies, ultimate fighting championship, fantastic beasts, the lord of the rings, warriors of history, street fighter ii, mortal kombat klassic, mount rushmore presidents, calendar events, obverse examples, specification, series releases to date.

Each shaped coin has a standard obverse design. The usual Ian Rank Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the surrounding inscriptions marking this out as a Niue issue. The presentation is also as neat as you would expect from a mint known for the quality of it, the box allowing for easy display and heavily themed for each issue.

Each is a 1oz fine silver coin with a mintage of 2,000 pieces. Early releases have sold very briskly, with Batman and Darth Vader particularly showing some excellent initial price appreciation. It is possible the intensive release schedule might harm that a little, but it remains to be seen. A splendid idea, expertly realised and quite unique. Couldn’t really ask for more.

So far these Chibi coins have proven to be incredibly popular with collectors. All of the guesses here regarding the upcoming Chibi coins seem pretty spot-on. We are expecting the Boba Fett coins to sell out pretty quickly. Not so sure about Albus Dumbledore and Hagrid, but only time will tell! Darth Vader was by far the quickest Chibi to sell out on our website, but we still have several other Chibis left in stock!

I’ve heard complaints from some dealers that they can’t even get them! I think Potter is less popular simply because the movies and books have been quieter over the last couple of years, plus the characters are considerably more ‘normal’ looking than the others.

That’s a fair point. DC Comics and Star Wars have both been spotlighted in recent years with new feature films. The Harry Potter universe did have some recent success with the Cursed Child play and the Fantastic Beasts series….but its success has most likely been overshadowed by the other two franchises.

Maybe if the mint produces a Dobby or Hedwig Chibi the Potterheads will get more excited…!

Harry Potter’s first book was published in June 1997, so his fans may not yet be the age to spend $99 each month on a coin.

Its not boba fett its cyborg and i think its not joker but han solo

Nice try, but I still think the original is correct. Definitely Boba Fett

Check the feet. Pointy ones are DC, flat are star wars, rounded are harry potter. It is Boba Feett, although cyborg is coming in the next few months I think, as is catwoman, yoda, etc.

Thanks Adam for this observation. This is the best one yet!

One more per month for The Lord of the Rings?

Don’t know yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it took off after Harry Potter runs out of the bigger characters. Might even see The Mandalorian this year.

I think you’re wrong there about Bellatrix and Malfoy, my guess is they are coming out this month with lord of the rings chibi coins!

You may be right on those two guesses as I’m quite unsure to be honest, but they’re not due this month. Next are Catwoman and Voldemort. No news on Lord of the Rings Chibi, but I also think they will be coming later this year, probably when Harry Potter runs out of characters. With A Nightmare Before Christmas getting new coins as well, I’d love to see Chibi issues of those very distinctice characters.

It is not Batgirl, but Catwoman; not Yoda, but Grogu; not Bellatrix Lestrange, but Frodo

i love the sets, but its getting a little ridiculous. Dc has batman and flying batman. Superman and flying superman. There are so many other suer heros they can put in there other then giving stupid duplicates. Same with harry potter. First and last coin in the series are the same character. WHY? Wonderwoman 84 only had 2 characters in it as far as i know. why make a series of that. Dont waste your time or my money. Riddler looks HORRIBLE. didnt even know who it was supposed to be when i seen the picture. I think they need to stop coming out with more and more series right now and focus on completing the ones they have out already. I collect first release pf 70s of every coin of every series.

I want to thank you guys for putting this Chibi library together. I’ve been searching the internet for something like this to make sure I don’t miss any, and to see the new sets coming out. PLEASE DONT STOP THE WORK ON THIS. ITS AWESOME Thank you. Great job.

how often does this page get updated

Usually monthly, but we’re on holiday after an eye operation. so a bit behind.

Does anyway know if New Zealand mint have now ended the Chibi Coin Series? There hasn’t been any new coins since January 2024 and it looks like there isn’t any this month or next month (May) either. So over 4 month now.

Apparently, there are no plans for new Chibi coins. Maybe they’ll revisit in the future, but that’s it for now. I reckon the rate of issue was a negative for many.

Thank you so much for finding out, I have every one of them and I have to say I am a little relieved they have stopped. It was a little expensive each month and too many series without finishing the collections. There were more main characters for Star Trek The Next Generation for example that they shluld have featured. I think they got too greedy and tried too many series at once.

I totally agree. Four per month was ridiculous, and the scattering of issues over so many licences was never going to sit well. Some, like the Star Trek you mentioned, are criminally under-served, while we actually got duplicated characters in others. I wasn’t keen on the 2oz versions either, and would have preferred a smaller (1/4oz) format that was more affordable for collectors. It’s a shame, but I wouldn’t rule its return out at some later date.

When Star Trek: The Original Series was first released on television in the United States, there were a number of characters that viewers quickly came to recognize. These stalwarts of the franchise include Captain James T. Kirk, Spok, Leonard McCoy, and Scotty.

Each of these characters has appeared in New Zealand Mint’s Chibi Star Trek Series with the recent introduction of a Scotty Chibi figure in the fourth release. Chibi is a Japanese slang term for a form of caricature artwork that accentuates the size of the head while shrinking the body and appendages.

The obverse of 2022 Silver Niue Chibi Star Trek Scotty Shaped Coins features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This 1998 portrait from Ian Rank-Broadley depicts the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. This design served as the fourth-generation effigy for British coins through 2015.

On the reverse side of 2022 1 oz Silver Chibi Star Trek Scotty Shaped Coins is a Chibi caricature depicting Scotty. Known by the full name of Montgomery Scott, Scotty was the engineer aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise and featured throughout the entirety of The Original Series.

These 2022 1 oz Silver Niue Chibi Star Trek Scotty Shaped Coins are available to you inside custom-shaped cases and come with a Star Trek-themed shipper that includes a viewing window on the front so you can see the coin. The Certificate of Authenticity is printed on the box, as is the individual serial number assigned to each coin.

Data's Entire Backstory Explained

Star Trek: The Next Generation gave Trekkies a whole host of new and incredible characters, from Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Geordi La Forge to William Riker and Deanna Troi. But perhaps the most memorable of the bunch was Data, everybody's favorite android.

With his super intelligent brain, Data was definitely an asset to the Enterprise crew, and his razor-sharp mind saved the day on more than one occasion. But due to his inability to feel emotions, he encountered all sorts of difficulties and challenges while boldly going where no android had gone before. But perhaps most importantly, Data allowed fans to ask some pretty big questions about the meaning of humanity and what counts as sentient life.

In other words, the saga of Data is absolutely fascinating, and today, we're taking a look at his tale. From his creation to his death and everything in between, here's Data's entire backstory explained.

The creation of Data

Star Trek: The Next Generation operated as a sort of space-based procedural, but that doesn't mean there was zero development over the series. As Jean-Luc Picard and the rest of the Enterprise crew fought conundrums of the week, the characters were built up throughout the show as stand-ins for concepts worth exploring. For example, we learned about conservatism and tradition through Worf, leadership through Picard, and empathy through Troi. As Data's entire life built toward the question of sentience and what makes a person a person, then we should probably start his story at the very beginning.

Data was created in the year 2336 by Dr. Noonian Soong. Soong was an incredibly well-regarded scientist, working for the Federation of Planets on issues of artificial intelligence. In particular, Soong wanted to create a powerful new android brain that could learn in the same ways that men could. Unfortunately, his first several attempts at creating a better android brain were flops, and he fled the Earth in shame. 

He ended up living on Omicron Theta under an assumed name. The far-out outpost gave him the space to study androids without fear of being discovered or ridiculed, and he built six androids during his time on the planet. This included Data, his fifth attempt. Data was built for Soong to test solutions to problems from his previous android Lore. Lore was built with the capacity to feel emotions, which led to feelings of superiority. Data had this ability removed in the hopes that Soong could figure out how to upgrade Lore and apply the solution before reactivating him.   

Adjusting to life among humans

Data's early life was difficult, to say the least. He was immediately eyed with suspicion by his neighbors, both because he was an unsocialized android with little grasp on how to act in the world and because his brother Lore was deactivated for harboring anti-human ideas.

To get an idea of Data's years on Omicron Theta, just picture the clearly middle-aged android known throughout the series, with the motor functions and reasoning skills of an infant. His differences from Lore made the adjustment to living in the colony all the more difficult. Unlike Lore, he had no ability to process human emotions, which left him unable to understand the need to be polite. His gruff demeanor with the other Omicron Thetans would've been enough to make him an outsider, but his lack of modesty made it difficult to convince the android to wear clothes. Because Data was largely anatomically identical on the outside to a human, this caused a bit of scandal in the small village.  

Data was saved by Juliana

Data made few friends among the people who lived on Omicron Theta, including his own creator. Data's older brother, Lore, was made in the exact image of Dr. Soong and was treated as a son by the inventor. Data, as his name suggests, was an experiment, a way to collect and troubleshoot problems to perfect Lore. But Lore eventually came to be impressed by Data, who learned at a much faster clip than his older brother. Free of the distractions of emotion, Data became a reservoir of knowledge and advanced to heights that Lore never reached. 

However, Soong's decision to imbue Lore with human emotions couldn't be swept under the rug with a simple deactivation. Knowing that he was to be turned off, Lore called in an alien intelligence to destroy the planet before his creator could flip the switch. The Crystalline Entity attacked the planet, and Data was only saved by Soong's wife, Juliana, who felt protective of all of the androids she helped create alongside her husband. But ultimately, the decision that shaped the rest of Data's life was actually made to save the pride of Juliana's husband.

See, Juliana feared that Data would fail, sending Soong into another tailspin like the one that led to him fleeing from Earth. Rather than allow that, she told her husband that Data was destroyed in the initial attack. Soong fled, leaving his two most successful androids behind on a dead planet.  

He was found by Starfleet

Data was found shortly after the attack, when an exploratory party from the USS Tripoli beamed down to the ruined planet. They rebooted Data, which cast him into a deep existential confusion. In an attempt to store all the knowledge of the colony in Data's young brain, Soong deleted all of Data's memories of his own parents. He had no understanding of who he was or where he came from, and he felt entirely unmoored from humanity. 

His neural networks in his artificially intelligent brain had to rebuild themselves, as he was cast back to square one. Unfortunately, he lacked the mentorship of his parents, who were much more forgiving of Data's lack of emotion and knowledge because they created him as a blank slate. Absent their leadership, Data briefly lost the will to live when he realized that he could fail in his ability to gain full sentience. His neural processes became more and more complex, and with each new layer of processes, Data ran the risk of making an error and causing a domino effect of machine failures. Faced with the terror of accidentally frying his own brain, Data considered deactivating himself and likened it to suicide in a heart-to-servos with the Enterprise 's Geordi La Forge. 

Ultimately, Data's innate love of solving puzzles pressed him forward. He treated rebuilding his own mind as a unique challenge that was only suited for someone with a complex computer for a brain, and as a result, he was able to push through.  

Data had to learn the ropes

Once Data was fully rebooted and no longer in danger of collapsing his brain, he decided to put his advanced learning powers to good use. As Starfleet was the group that rescued him from permanent stasis on an empty planet, he signed up for the Starfleet Academy. But one member of the Academy's selection board, Dr. Bruce Maddox, objected to allowing Data to attend. After all, Data would be the first-ever android admitted to the Academy that trained cadets for the Federation's exploratory and military wing. As all prior androids on Earth had nowhere near the intelligence and reasoning capabilities of Data, Maddox viewed Data as nothing more than a machine. However, he was overruled. Data excelled at the Academy, quickly becoming an expert in alien biology and the mechanics of probability. 

While he was a model student, as you might expect given his superhuman grasp of reasoning and problem-solving, Data still had trouble interacting with people. He came to be incredibly knowledgeable in several fields and graduated with honors, but his built-in limitations in areas like empathy and emotion made him an outcast. He was frequently the butt of jokes that were easy to make, as he had no grasp of humor and an entirely black-and-white view of the information he was given. Data was able to hone his book smarts, but he would struggle with the emotional side of things for the rest of his life.

Serving Starfleet

Data graduated with honors and was assigned to work on the USS Trieste . As The Next Generation featured many of the main players already well up the Starfleet ladder, it's difficult to imagine Ensign Data (and his existence as a repository for inhuman amounts of knowledge makes it even harder), but he served in that lowly rank for three years before being promoted to lieutenant. He earned his spot on the bridge 12 years later, with a promotion to lieutenant commander. It was at that point that Starfleet reassigned him to the Enterprise under the command of Jean-Luc Picard . 

Data's time aboard the Trieste  was mentioned only in passing throughout the series, but it was clear that Data took part in many important missions before ever taking a seat on the Enterprise . He shared that his ship had passed through an unstable wormhole in one particularly terrifying trip, and the Enterprise 's young ensign Wesley Crusher was cowed by Data's long list of Starfleet commendations.

When Data finally met his brother

The universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation  was big in theory but small in practice. In spite of the many light-years that Starfleet's advanced ships could travel with ease, every character on the Enterprise  was eventually tracked down by characters from their past. So it went with Data, though his troubles were explicitly sought out by the crew of the Enterprise .

Data was entirely unique in the universe, the only android with anywhere near his abilities. So it would make since that the explorers in the Enterprise would want to know more about where he came from. So they traveled to Omicron Theta to figure out Data's confusing origins, as they'd been deleted from his memory. Unfortunately, they found Lore. Data's long-lost brother was reassembled and reactivated by the clueless Enterprise crew, who knew nothing of his disdain for humanity. 

Lore lied to Data, saying that he was deactivated because he made the humans of Omicron jealous. He correctly pointed out that he was better at being a human than Data, and he rubbed his ability to comprehend emotion in his younger brother's face. When Data threatened to tell Picard more information about Lore, the new android subdued his brother and impersonated Data in an attempt to take control of the Enterprise .

Lore called in the Crystalline Entity yet again in an attempt to destroy the ship, but he was stopped when Data tossed him into the transporter, and Wesley Crusher beamed him out into space. However, it wouldn't be his last battle with Lore or the last uncomfortable appearance of his android roots. 

Data fought for android rights

Yet another figure from Data's past factored into one of the best episodes of The Next Generation . In "The Measure of a Man," Bruce Maddox reappeared in Data's life for the first time since voting against his Starfleet admittance. When Maddox appeared on the Enterprise , seeking to study Data's internal circuitry in an attempt to recreate his still unique brain, Data objected and refused to submit to a procedure he believed would kill him. 

Maddox countered that Data wasn't a sentient being and was the property of Starfleet, meaning that he had no rights to his own body. Maddox repeatedly referred to Data as "it" throughout the ordeal, refusing to give him pronouns reserved for humans. Eventually, Maddox forced a transfer of Data to under his own command, while Picard looked for a way out for Data. The android resigned rather than be subject to Maddox's commands, but Maddox countered before a Federation judge that Data had no rights to resign. As property of Starfleet, he had no rights to refuse orders or leave of his own volition.  

Ultimately, a trial was convened with members of the Enterprise serving as counsel. Picard defended Data while Riker represented Starfleet's position. Riker expertly laid out the case that Data wasn't a human, and a spooked Picard revealed that he was worried Maddox would be successful in creating new Datas with no rights — a race of superpowered slaves beholden to the Federation.

To prevent this, Picard laid out an incredible case for Data's humanity . He showed that Data could feel sentimentality and ultimately tore down Maddox in a cross-examination. As a result, the judge ruled that Data was officially a machine, but he was the property of no one.

The story of Data's daughter

At a certain point in life, a lot of people will feel like they're missing something — a child. And the same was true for Data, who was unable to have kids. However, the android was able to get around this by building himself a daughter named Lal. But given her incredibly advanced processing abilities and her rapid gleaning of knowledge, Starfleet yet again demanded the right to experiment on Lal in order to determine how she ticked. 

Data asserted his desire to protect his child and noted that he had parental rights over his young daughter, even as she moved beyond him. She gained the ability to experience emotions, but this eventually caused her neural network to short out and crash. Data experienced the entire span of having a child in a very brief time, and she died in his arms after telling Data that she loved him (something that Data couldn't share).

Almost human

As you might expect, Data did eventually gain the ability to feel emotions. See, Data's father had been hiding out and working on an emotional chip upgrade for his android son. He then sent out a homing beacon that overrode all of Data's other processes, forcing him to take control of the Enterprise and fly it to Soong's location. Unfortunately, Lore was also pulled in by the beacon. 

Data's ne'er-do-well brother stole the chip for himself and fatally wounded Soong. Dying, Soong warned that Lore couldn't function with a chip that wasn't built for him, but the bad guy was in no mood to listen, as Lore resented his father for deactivating him all those years ago. Sadly, Data got to yet again spend time with a family member in their final moments, though he told his father he wouldn't be able to grieve. 

Fortunately, Data was able to recreate Soong's chip and implanted it in himself. He was initially very unstable and unable to register the appropriate reactions, and the chip overloaded his neural network in a similar manner to his late daughter. However, he did eventually get himself under control, and when he found himself crying with joy after being reunited with a friend, Deanna Troi explained that his emotional chip was functioning perfectly.

Data was a soldier to the last

Though Data gained the ability to feel fear, he never stopped being an incredibly brave soldier for Starfleet. Much like another logically inclined Enterprise crew member — we're looking at you, Mr. Spock  — Data ultimately sacrificed himself to save the rest of his compatriots. 

Captain Picard was captured in a battle with the Romulan ship Scimitar , and knowing that he had to save Picard from death, Data jumped through a hole in the Enterprise , across the void of space, to gain access to the rival ship. When he found Picard in distress, he teleported his commander back to the Enterprise over Picard's protests. In one final act in service of Starfleet, Data fired upon the core of the of the enemy ship from the inside, detonating it in a massive blast. This killed everyone aboard, including Data, and allowed the rest of the Enterprise to escape. 

In Picard , the recent sequel to TNG , Data appears regularly but only in visions. The man who argued hardest for Data's humanity is deeply haunted by the fact that Data gave his life for him. But even though Data sacrificed himself while having the ability to feel emotions, he'd likely argue that trading his life for the rest of the crew was the logical solution.
