The United States Mint issues a series of coins on January 24, all with the same design, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 manned space mission that supposed astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin were the first to treading the moon on July 20, 1969.
Up to eight different possibilities are to get one of these coins if we add the different finishes, metals and presentations. In gold, silver or cupronickel and from $ 25.95 up to a price not yet determined of those minted in gold, which will vary according to their price. These curved coins, as if they were a bowl, have aroused great enthusiasm among collectors around the world and especially among Americans.
The reverse side of the coin shows a close-up of the famous "Buzz Aldrin on the Moon" photograph, taken on July 20, 1969, showing what was reflected in the visor of the helmet of astronaut Buzz Aldrin. The reflection in the helmet of Buzz Aldrin shows the astronaut Neil Armstrong, the flag of the United States and the module of lunar landing. The inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "the face value", according to the currency and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (Of many, one).
Of all the photographs that were taken after the arrival of Apollo 11 to the Moon, this is possibly one of the most remembered. In it you can see Neil Armstrong on the surface of our satellite while his helmet reflects the image of the lunar module Eagle and Buzz Aldrin at the time he made the snapshot.
The design of the obverse features the inscriptions "MERCURY", "GEMINI" and "APOLLO", separated by phases of the Moon, and a footprint on the lunar surface, which together represent the efforts of the United States space program that led to the first manned landing of the moon. The additional inscriptions are "2019", "IN GOD WE TRUST" (In God we trust) "and" LIBERTY ".
Below we see an image of one of the gold coins where its curved shape is much better appreciated.
Completing the information, I leave a link to the US Mint store in the United States, where you can see all the currencies and their prices for the United States. Point out that they do not ship to Europe.
