In July 1969, NASA achieved a decade-long goal by sending humans to another celestial body for the first time in history. The Apollo 11 mission was the culmination of a lot of effort, several failures, and advancements in technology. The eight-day mission lifted off from Merrick Island, Florida, on July 16, 1969.
By July 20, 1969, the Eagle lunar lander touched down on the surface of the Moon. Mission Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin touched down in the module and eventually became the first two humans to ever set foot on the surface of another celestial body.
A sunken obverse design field features on the 2019 5 oz Proof American Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Silver Coin. This design field shows a dusty, rocky lunar surface with the footprint from an astronaut’s suit on the surface of the moon. There are inscriptions of the names of the previous NASA missions in the 1960s, four phases of the Moon, and a date mark on this face.
The raised reverse field of the 2019 Proof American Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Silver Coin depicts the image of Neil Armstrong. His appearance alongside the Eagle lunar lander is reflected in the visor of Buzz Aldrin in this design element.
