A Silver Tribute to Apollo 11’s 50th Anniversary

It’s been 50 years since Apollo 11 landed on the moon, a historic moment in time that is today being celebrated across the world as a monumental triumph of science and human endeavor. For Australia, the celebration holds a special place due to the country’s involvement in sharing the moment as it happened with the rest of the world. That’s because while many people can clearly remember those first ghostly black-and-white images that appeared on their television screens on July 20, 1969, few remember that the signal beamed from the moon’s surface 238,900 miles away actually went through tracking stations in Australia!

To pay tribute to the historic moon landing and its own involvement, Australia is releasing a special series of one-year-only commemorative coins. Struck by the prestigious Royal Australian Mint, the design shows an astronaut on the moon’s surface walking away from the lunar lander in the background. In the sky, our own plant earth is depicted in full color floating in the sky with the continent of Australia facing the moon. The obverse shows Australia’s CSIRO Parkes radio telescope pointed at the moon as it receives signals from the Apollo 11 landing – a theme captured by transcripts from the Apollo 11 crew engraved in the background.

The coin also features the addition of a special black nickel plating that adds and eerie darkness to the design that emphasizes the bleak lunar landscape and the vastness of space. In addition, this coin has a seldom-seen domed curve to mimic the moon’s surface. It’s one of the few domed coins in the world, making it a unique collectible in its own right! In fact, it’s the world’s FIRST dome-shaped colorized nickel-plated coin ever struck!

Each $5 legal-tender coin in this offer is struck in one full ounce of highly pure 99.9% silver and comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. Just 10,000 of these incredible coins will be struck with only 4,000 being available outside Australia for worldwide release – a number that is far too small for the millions of coin collectors, Silver bugs and fans of space & science that would like to own one of these pieces. In addition, each coin will come in its original government packaging from the mint and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
