2019 50th anniversary Moon Landing Gold Astronaut Coin just $20.00. This coin commemorates the first crewed landing on the Moon by Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. The reverse depicts a bootprint on the lunar surface, based on a photograph taken by Aldrin. That design is by Maine sculptor Gary Cooper, with engraving by Joseph Menna of the Mint. The Obverse depicts the visor and surrounding helmet of Aldrin's space suit. This is based on a well-known photograph taken by Armstrong, and was created and engraved by Phebe Hemphill of the Mint. The depiction of Aldrin made him the seventh individual to appear on a U.S. coin who was alive at the time the coins were struck.
