Obverse

On the obverse of Silver Apollo 11 Eagle Landing Rounds is the image of the Eagle lunar landing. The landing capsule was one of three major pieces of the Apollo 11 craft and one of the two elements that did not return to Earth with the crew. In this design, you can see the Eagle lander approaching the surface of the Moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin inside. As the rocket booster beneath fires up to slow its descent, the strength of the rockets blast kicks up dust from the lunar surface. Inscriptions on this side of the silver round include Tranquility Base Here…The Eagle Has Landed and July 20, 1969 20:17:40 UTC.

Reverse

The reverse visual on the 1 oz Silver Apollo 11 Eagle Landing Round captures a replica of the Apollo 11 mission patch from NASA. The design includes an American bald eagle landing on the moon with an olive branch in its talons. Earth is visible in the distance as it would be seen from space. The inscriptions on this face of the round read Apollo 11, 1969-2019, 50th Anniversary, and One Ounce .999 Fine Silver.

History

Apollo 11 was an eight-day mission that sent astronauts Michael Collins, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin to space with the purpose of landing on the lunar surface. Among the three-man crew, Collins was the only one not to reach the lunar surface. He remained in orbit in space around the Moon in the command module.
