The United States Mint issued a number of commemorative coins in 2019 to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of Apollo 11s success in July 1969. The series of coins included both BU and Proof options across gold and silver releases. The silver release, in particular, featured a 1 oz silver coin and these 5 oz silver proofs.

Obverse

On the obverse of the 2019 Proof American Apollo 11 50^th Anniversary 1 oz Silver Coin is a depiction of the footprint left on the lunar surface by an astronauts suit. In this remarkable design, the sunken field features the boot print sunk into the surface of the Moon. Inscriptions include Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, In God We Trust, 2019, and Liberty. There are also four marks along the top rim that include the four major phases of the Moon.

Reverse

The reverse side of 2019 Proof American Apollo 11 50^th Anniversary Silver Coins comes with a raised design field bearing a reflected image on the lunar surface. The Eagle lunar lander is found in the foreground with Neil Armstrong depicted in the distance. The American flag is shown planted on the surface of the Moon as well. You can see the shadow of Buzz Aldrin and the raised field reflects the curvature of the visor on Aldrins helmet. Inscriptions read United States of America, One Dollar, and E Pluribus Unum.

History

Apollo 11 was an eight-day mission that saw NASA achieve former-President John F. Kennedys goal of seeing the nation send a man to the Moon and safely return him to Earth.
