The US Commemorative Dollar Proof 2019 Apollo 11 coin commemorates one of the most significant events in human history - the first manned lunar landing. This historic achievement took place on July 20, 1969, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the surface of the moon.
The United States played a central role in the Apollo 11 mission, which was part of NASA's Apollo program aimed at landing humans on the moon and bringing them safely back to Earth. The successful lunar landing was a testament to American ingenuity, innovation, and determination to push the boundaries of exploration.
The design of the US Commemorative Dollar Proof 2019 Apollo 11 coin pays homage to this monumental event. The obverse of the coin features a striking image of Neil Armstrong's footprint on the lunar surface, symbolizing humanity's first steps on another celestial body. The reverse of the coin depicts a stunning representation of the iconic photograph taken by astronaut Buzz Aldrin showing astronaut Neil Armstrong standing on the moon with the American flag in the background.
The US Commemorative Dollar Proof 2019 Apollo 11 coin was minted at the United States Mint, which has a long history of producing coins that celebrate America's achievements and milestones. The Mint's skilled craftsmen meticulously struck each coin using specially prepared dies and high-quality silver blanks to ensure sharp detail and a mirror-like finish.
The mintage of the US Commemorative Dollar Proof 2019 Apollo 11 coin was limited, adding to its collectible appeal. Each coin has a face value of one dollar, reflecting its legal tender status in the United States. However, the coin's numismatic value far exceeds its nominal value, making it a sought-after item among collectors and space enthusiasts.
