Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Ferengi Latinum Strip

replica movie prop

This is a replica (of unknown origin) of the Latinum Strip used in Quark\'s bar at the Dabo gambling tables on DS9. This was the second-smallest denomination of Gold-pressed Latinum (there were five denominations; Slip, Strip, Bar, Ingot, Brick), a non-Federation currency favoured by the Ferengi. What sets this one apart from the others in my collection is this has been cast in sold metal (possibly brass?) and expertly polished to a shine. The inscribed Ferengi text has been perfectly copied. The second pic is simply a size comparison to one of the other strips in my collection.
