One of the memorable cast of characters that madeStar Trek: The Next Generationpopular, Data was one of a small number of androids designed by the genius cyberneticist Dr. Noonien Soong. Data brought together a suite of incredible abilities with a gentle personality that was fascinated by the human condition, aspiring to become more human himself in the course of his adventures. This blend of elements made the character an all-time fan favorite now celebrated by the third issue in the New Zealand Mint’s series devoted to the show, the 2022 Niue Chibi Star Trek Data Shaped 1 oz Silver Coin is now available from Provident Metals.
