The Apollo 11 program from NASA had one goal in mind: put humans on the moon and bring them back safely.

Obverse

On the obverse of 2019 Proof American Apollo 11 50^th Anniversary $1 Silver coins is the image of an astronaut footprint. Just like the ones left by Aldrin and Armstrong on the moon, the footprint has the rounded edges of their spacesuit boots and is sunken into the concave surface of this coin, adding greater visual impact.

Reverse

The reverse face of the 2019 Proof American Apollo 11 50^th Anniversary Silver Coin includes a replication of the photograph taken on the lunar surface by Buzz Aldrin. This convex side of the coin is domed and framed by the helmet of Aldrin, with his visor acting as the design field of the coin. In his visor, you see the reflection of Armstrong, the Eagle lunar lander, and the American flag on the lunar surface just as captured in Aldrins original photo.

History

Apollo 11 was an eight-day mission that took off from Merritt Island, Florida, and sent the crew to an orbit around the moon four days later. Armstrong and Aldrin would descend to the lunar surface and spend a total of 21.5 hours there before rejoining Michael Collins for the return flight to Earth. The group touched down in the South Pacific on July 24, 1969.
