2019 $5 50th Anniversary of The Moon Landing 1oz Silver Proof Domed Coin

On 21 July 1969 (AEST) Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the Moon. Australian ingenuity and technology played a major role in receiving and transmitting the television of this historic event. Radio antennas at NASA’s Honeysuckle Creek Station ACT and CSIRO’s Parkes Observatory NSW were in position to share the televised broadcast with the world. Fifty years later, the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing is still regarded as a triumph of human endeavour. This coloured Domed Proof Coin celebrates this iconic moment.
