The album is Star Trekthemed and includes seven coin notes depicting poster artwork from key episodes along with summary of each. It can also be displayed in a Star Trek: The Next Generation Collector’s Album, which is included with the purchase of the Encounter at Farpoint, Pt. This single silver coin note is housed inside a protective sleeve which includes details of the note’s authenticity. The obverse of the note features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and is legal tender in Niue. The unique number in the mintage is also printed on each coin note. The design, based on the poster artwork from renowned Star Trek artist, Juan Ortiz, is brought to life through engraving and colour printing. The coin note features the poster artwork from one of the most compelling episodes from the second season, The “Measure of a Man”. Straight out of Starfleet comes this second stunning 5g pure silver coin note in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Collection.

More specific to this article however, is the fact that both Roddenberry and Asimov shared an intrinsically optimistic vision of the future.
#STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION THE MEASURE OF A MAN SERIES#
Original series producers, Herb Solow and Robert Justman, report that, together with using prominent SF writers such as Asimov and Harlan Ellison in his campaign to save the series from cancellation, Roddenberry also sought Asimov's help in creating a better role for Captain Kirk (William Shatner) to off-set Leonard Nimoy's popularity as Spock (Solow and Justman: 226). A number of factors link Asimov to Star Trek, not least is the fact that Gene Roddenberry had specifically called upon Asimov's help during production. The making of the film seemed peculiarly redundant however, not because the story itself was unsuitable for revision, but because a much more faithful screen adaptation had already been achieved a decade earlier with the creation of Star Trek: The Next Generation's Data. * The screen version of Isaac Asimov's novella, "The Bicentennial Man" by Chris Columbus (1999) met with criticism from both SF fans and film reviewers alike, each critical of the comic adaptation that resulted from a serious and moving premise and, in particular, the mawkish sentimentality that overtakes the movie.
