The Apollo 11 mission that landed man on the moon for the first time was a signature accomplishment for the US space program. It was also an important victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War's Space Race. To mark the 50th anniversary of the mission, Sunshine Minting issued these two silver medals. When you purchase the 5 oz version, will you receive an additional 1 oz medal for free! Both pieces were struck from .999 fine silver and hand finished with a solution that includes an alloy that was flown into space on an Apollo mission.
Patriotic Mission Patch Design
The obverse features the design of the mission patch. An eagle lands on the moon with its wings spread. In the distance is the Earth. Florida, from which the mission launched, is at the center. "APOLLO 11" is inscribed at the top.
