50 Years Since Apollo 11

On 20 July 1969, NASA’s Apollo 11 mission landed on the Moon. As millions watched on television around the world, Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the lunar surface, followed by Buzz Aldrin, while Michael Collins remained in orbit aboard the command module. Armstrong’s famous words – “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” – have become some of the best-known in history.

In 2019, the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing was celebrated around the world, with mints issuing a wide range of commemorative coins to mark the occasion. This limited edition of just 9,999 Moon Landing silver proof coins is a lovely way to remember that remarkable achievement. You can read more about the mission on NASA’s Apollo 11 page.

Why Collect Silver Proof Coins?

Proof is the highest quality of coin a mint produces. Proof coins are struck several times using specially polished dies, giving sharp, frosted design details set against a mirror-like background. Made in sterling silver and in limited numbers for collectors, they are far scarcer than everyday coins and look superb on display.

A beautifully presented commemorative silver proof coin celebrating a landmark moment in human history. An appealing addition to collections of commemorative coinage, space memorabilia or proof coins – and a brilliant gift for anyone fascinated by space, astronomy or the Apollo missions.

Caring for Your Coin

Handle proof coins by the edges only, as fingerprints on the mirrored surfaces can cause marks over time. Store the coin in a cool, dry place and never try to clean or polish it, as this will permanently damage the proof finish.
