Owner Comments:
Switzerland sent an aluminum solar sail with the Apollo 11 astronauts to study solar particles striking the moon. The design of this coin is based on a photograph of the solar sail being planted into the lunar surface. The sail was actually planted into the surface before the American flag. I like the minimalist design of this coin. It also has raised edge lettering and stars that are not visible in the pictures, which is unique amongst the coins in my collection. 5000 of these coins were minted, and this coin was given the serial number 4409.
