Apollo 11 was the fifth manned mission in the Apollo series at NASA. It was the first in human history to send human beings to another celestial body and return them safely to the surface of the Earth. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins were the three-man crew involved in Apollo 11, but only Armstrong and Aldrin actually descended to the Moon.
On the obverse side of 2019 5 oz Proof Silver American Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Coin is the design of an astronaut footprint on the surface of the moon. Armstrong and Aldrin spent a total of 21.5 hours on the surface of the moon during the mission.
The reverse face of 2019 Proof Silver American Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Coins features a depiction of a photograph taken during the mission. The photo of Buzz Aldrin captured a perfect reflection in his visor of Neil Armstrong, the Eagle lunar lander, and the American flag on the Moon’s surface.
