Obverse

Neil Armstrong is depicted on the obverse of 1 oz Silver Apollo 11 One Small Step Rounds. Armstrong was one of three men in the Apollo 11 mission along with Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the lunar surface from the orbiting command module and spent a total of 21.5 hours on the surface of the Moon. Here, Armstrong is shown descending a ladder from the Eagle lunar lander to set foot on the surface of the Moon as the first human to step onto another celestial body. The inscriptions on this face of the round read Thats One Small Step For Man, One Giant Leap for Mankind and July 21, 1969; 02:56:15 GMT. The phrase captures Armstrongs iconic words as he set the first human foot on the Moon, while the other inscription denotes the time and date of the first human footprint on another celestial body.

Reverse

For the reverse design of 1 oz Silver Apollo 11 One Small Step Rounds, the NASA mission patch for Apollo 11 is featured. The patch depicted an American bald eagle landing on the surface of the Moon with an olive branch in its talons. Planet Earth is visible in the distant background of space. The inscriptions on this side include Apollo 11, 1969-2019, 50th Anniversary, One Ounce, and 999 Fine Silver.
