NASA's Apollo 11 mission took place in 1969 and the 50th anniversary of its success is in 2019. The U.S. Mint has created a lineup of Apollo 11 commemorative coins to mark the 50th anniversary. The San Francisco Mint struck this clad half dollar. It has a proof finish and an intriguing dome shape. Mintage of this proof half dollar is limited.

Iconic Lunar Footprint Design

The obverse of this dome shaped coin shows the surface of the Moon with a large footprint. There are plenty of fine details to observe here. This side is inscribed with the names of several early NASA programs.

The convex reverse of this coin has been creatively matched with a design based on the photo known as "Buzz Aldrin on the Moon." The helmet in this design belongs to Aldrin, the other astronaut pictured here is Neil Armstrong. The American flag and the lunar lander can also be seen near Armstrong.

GEM Proof Condition

This half dollar has not been certified by a third-party grading service. Just like when it left the U.S. Mint, it's in GEM Proof condition.
