This amazing 1,969g silver coin commemorates the 50th anniversary of the moon landing according to the official Apollo 11 mission emblem.
The three astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins launched a Saturn V rocket from Launch Complex 39A of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 16, 1969 and reached moon orbit on July 19.
While Collins remained behind in the command module of the Columbia spacecraft, Armstrong and Aldrin landed Eagle the next day.
A few hours later, Armstrong was the first human to step on the moon, followed shortly afterwards by Aldrin.
After a nearly 22-hour stay, the Lunar Module took off again from the lunar surface and returned to the mother ship.
