Description
Apollo 15 Flown Silver Robbins Medallion, Serial Number 100. This 35mm sterling silver medal is one of only 127 that were actually flown on the mission with crewmembers Dave Scott, Al Worden, and Jim Irwin. There were 304 struck but due to a spelling error on the landing site (Appennines instead of Apennines), most of the medals were returned to the Robbins Company for correction, but were not ready in time for the takeoff. The obverse features the mission insignia depicting three stylized birds flying above the Hadley Rille area of the moon with craters spelling out "XV" to the right. The reverse features the phrase "Man's Flight Through Life Is Sustained By The Power Of His Knowledge" around, Air Force wings (it was an all-Air Force crew), and the dates of the mission. The serial number is on the rim along with the sterling and Robbins hallmarks. Excellent condition.Auction Info
