On July 16, 1969, the astronauts of NASAs Apollo 11 mission launched from Merritt Island, Florida, with a singular mission in mind: land on the Moon. The eight-day mission sent a three-man crew to a lunar orbit, with two of the three men becoming the first humans in history to land on another celestial body before returning safely back to Earth. Today, you have the opportunity to get Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Rounds online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The astronauts of the Apollo 11 mission included commander Neil Armstrong, lunar lander pilot Buzz Aldrin, and command module pilot Michael Collins. Of the three men, only Armstrong and Aldrin would eventually set foot on the Moon. Collins remained behind in orbit around the Moon in the command module. After an eight-day mission, all three men splashed down in the South Pacific where the US Navy retrieved the crew and their capsule.

On the obverse of Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Rounds is a depiction of the Apollo 11 mission patch.
