2019 Barbados $5 1-oz Silver Spherical Moon Antiqued

This Moon Landing Coin Makes Quite An Impression!

In the classic film It's a Wonderful Life George Bailey as portrayed by the unforgettable Jimmy Stewart promises his future wife the moon, boasting that he’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. George never did acquire the moon, but now you can with this unique one-ounce silver coin struck as a ball-shaped sphere that mimics the look and feel of earth’s only natural satellite.

Released by the island nation of Barbados in 2019, this fabulous coin offers a new way to commemorate the 50th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo 11 mission that successfully landed men on the moon for the first time. That’s because amid the coin’s craters and terrain rests the famous footprint made by American Astronaut Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969 when he took one small step for man and made a giant leap for mankind. The coin itself is hollow, but you’d never suspect it from looking at the depth of the footprint struck into part of the sphere’s surface. The incuse image looks gigantic on this orb-shaped coin and as you rotate it in your hands it really brings home the theme of just how gigantic a step Armstrong’s footprint represents.

These $5 legal-tender coins were expertly struck by MDM Deutsche Münze, a prestigious German mint that is one of the world’s largest coin trading houses. As an extra touch, the artisans at MDM added an antiqued finish to the coin that accentuates every detail in the craters, ridges and footprint struck into the surface of this commemorative moon-themed coin. This extra layer also protects the coin and allows you to handle it without damaging it.

Each Spherical Moon One-Ounce Silver Coin also comes in exciting packaging from the Mint: A cool display that is designed to look like the moon coin is floating within its holder! It will make a perfect addition to any collection and a very thoughtful gift for anyone interested in science and the moon.

In honor of the milestone anniversary of Apollo 11’s historic accomplishment, the limited mintage for this coin has been set at 1,969 – which not only represents the year mankind took its first steps on the moon but is an extremely small edition limit for what is expected to be a very popular release.
