The reverse is engraved with the mission dates, "March 3–13, 1969," and encircled by the surnames of the astronauts in raised text: "McDivitt, Scott, Schweickart." The medal is serial numbered "205" and stamped below with the Robbins "Sterling" hallmark. Includes its original matching case, with typical deteriorating foam. Condition is mint state, with light overall tarnishing. Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed McDivitt, certifying that this "sterling silver Apollo 9 Robbins Medallion was flown in Earth orbit aboard Apollo 9, 3–13 March 1969."
