Struck by the Perth Mint from five ounces 99.99% pure silver, this high relief proof coin celebrates the 50th anniversary of mankind’s first landing on the moon. The successful landing of United States spacecraft Apollo 11’s Lunar Module Eagle on the Moon was watched by more than half a billion people on TV in 1969. Humanity collectively held its breath as astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Moon’s surface, proclaiming, 'That’s one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind'. The $8 silver coin portrays a representation of the Lunar Module Eagle behind a large footprint on the Moon’s surface. The design includes the inscription 'MOON LANDING 1969-2019'. The obverse depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions 'ELIZABETH II', 'AUSTRALIA', '5oz 9999 Ag' '2019' and '8 DOLLARS'. The 5oz silver coin’s high relief reverse and obverse are minted on concave surfaces to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die. This 50th anniversary of the moon landing silver high relief coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid. The case is packaged within an illustrated shipper and accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
