Description
Flown aboard mankind's first moonlanding mission
Apollo 11 Flown Sterling Silver Robbins Medallion, Serial Number
326. This 28mm medal was one of 450 flown aboard Apollo 11, the
first manned moon landing, July 16-24, 1969, with crewmembers Neil
Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. The obverse depicts
Collins' early and original concept for the mission insignia with
the eagle carrying an olive branch in its mouth. NASA thought the
sharp, open talons of the eagle looked too "warlike" and the olive
branch, representing peace, was moved to the claws. This is one of,
if not the only, major official items that renders the insignia as
it was meant to be by the astronaut designer. The reverse has the
dates of the mission, surnames of the crew, and the serial number.
No astronaut provenance. Very fine.
