The obverse shows a figure 8 looping around the earth and moon representing the mission number as well as the circumlunar nature of the mission. On the number 8 are the names of the three astronauts. The reverse has the dates of the mission and the number. From the collection of Joseph P. Kerwin, M.D., who has included a signed Letter of Certification verifying its provenance.
