This set in color was issued in honor of the 50th anniversary of the significant image "Earth Blue Marble" and the Apollo missions. In 1972 an inspired snapshot of the Earth was taken on a whim from 29,000 km away by the crew of the last manned Apollo mission, Apollo 17. The image remains legendary to this day. The coins in the set were struck from one ounce of silver and one ounce of gold in proof quality and is limited to only max. 150* sets worldwide. The motive of both coins shows the legendary image as well as two astronauts and a lunar module. In the background is the starry night sky. The reverse shows the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The limited Earth Blue Marble anniversary set is delivered in the original boxes including the numbered certificates of authenticity.
