This wonderful One Crown uncirculated coin was commissioned by the Isle of Man to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first man on the moon in 1969. It depicts the moon lander preparing to set down on the Lunar surface with the Apollo X command module, named Columbia, above, and the Earth distant and moon-like in the background. It was on July 20, 1969, that a human first set foot on another celestial body. Neil A. Armstrong took the �Small Step� from the Lunar Module, named �Eagle�, onto the surface of the Moon. Along with fellow astronaut �Buzz� Aldrin he remained on the lunar surface until the next day collecting rocks and marveling at their accomplishment. Astronaut Michael Collins manned the command module with which Neil Armstrong and �Buzz� Aldrin successfully docked in preparation for their triumphant return to Earth. Comes in a Mint issued red leatherette presentation case as shown in the images.
