On July 16, 1969, three astronauts from NASA lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida bound for a place no human had ever been.

Four days after liftoff, the three-man crew of the Apollo 11 mission approached the surface of the Moon. Michael Collins piloted the command module Columbia alone as mission commander Neil Armstrong and landing module pilot Buzz Aldrin descended to the moon. The men landed safely and spent 2 hours in the capsule before stepping onto the surface of the moon where they would spend 21.5 hours collection samples.

When the United States marked the 15^th anniversary of the moon landing, the Statue of Liberty underwent restoration to preserve the structure. Actual copper from the statue was used to construct two 15-inch replicas which would later fly on the Discovery shuttle in 1985. One statue was later melted into centennial seals of Liberty, which have now been used in this exciting coin.

On the reverse of the 2019 1 oz Niue Silver Moon Landing 50^th Anniversary Proof Coin is the image of the moon’s surface with the singular footprint of an Apollo 11 crewmember. The American flag is suspended in the background at full staff in the lighter gravity of the moon’s surface. The galaxy, a comet, and planet Earth are all visible in the background.

The obverse of 2019 Niue Silver Moon Landing 50^th Anniversary Proof Coins features the right-profile bust of Queen Elizabeth II. This fourth-generation design from the Royal Mint of England was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley and has been widely used throughout the Commonwealth. Visible on both sides of the coin is an inset capsule with copper from those Liberty statues which went into space with Discovery in 1985.
