Apollo 11 was NASA’s first manned mission to land on another celestial body. The three-man crew lifted off from Merritt Island, Florida, on July 16, 1969, powered by Saturn V rockets. Four days later, the crew approached the moon. Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the moon for a 21.5 spacewalk on the surface.

The national motto and word “Liberty” are also engraved on this side with the “W” mint mark.

The reverse of 2019 American Apollo 11 50^th Anniversary Gold Coins includes a depiction of the famous photo from 1969 when Aldrin snapped a photo in his helmet’s visor that caught the reflection of fellow moonwalker Neil Armstrong.
