The spacecraft featured a command module, a service module, and a lunar module.

The obverse of Apollo 11 Liftoff Silver Rounds depicts the moment the Saturn V rockets burst to life with flames to life the Apollo 11 spacecraft away from Earth’s surface. The design includes the spacecraft lifting away from the support arms as thick plumes of smoke belch from beneath the Saturn V rockets. Engravings include the date of liftoff and the phrase “All Engines Running, Lift Off…We Have A Lift Off.”

On the reverse of 1 oz Apollo 11 Liftoff Silver Rounds is the common design element that will feature throughout the collection. The design depicts an American bald eagle clutching an olive branch in its talons as it comes to rest on the moon. This is similar to the mission patch of the Apollo 11 crewmembers and was appropriate given the name of the lunar module for landing was Eagle.
