In 1969, President John F. Kennedys goal of sending man to the moon and back ended with the crew of Apollo 11 successfully reentering the Earths atmosphere and landing in the Pacific Ocean. In 2019, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this great feat, the North American Mint launched the Apollo 11 Series of silver rounds. Today, you can purchase the 1 oz Silver Proof-Like Apollo 11 One Small Step Round from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The Apollo 11 mission lasted only eight days, but it is one of the most successful journeys from NASA. The Apollo 11 spacecraft launched on July 16, 1969. Four days later, the craft would reach the surface of the moon, marking the first time humans had ever touched down on a different celestial body.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 1 oz Silver Proof-Like Apollo 11 One Small Step Round, you will see the image of Neil Armstrong as he descends the ladder from the Eagle lunar lander to walk on the surface of the moon. He is known for famously saying, Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. This quote is engraved around the edge of the obverse side of the round.
Reverse
The reverse face of all of the rounds in the Apollo 11 Series feature the image of a bald eagle with outstretched wings and an olive branch in its talons. The eagle represents the Eagle lunar lander, so it is shown as it is about to touch down on the surface of the moon. You can also see the Earth in the background of this design.
History
This space mission put two men, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, on the moon for the first and only time in history. Since 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of this mission, it is fitting that these coins are now available.
