Description

Carried to the moon on Apollo 11—a Robbins medallion from mankind's first lunar landing mission

Flown sterling silver Apollo 11 Robbins medallion, approximately 1.25˝ in diameter, with a raised design of the iconic Apollo 11 mission insignia on the face—a bald eagle landing on the cratered lunar surface, clutching olive branches of peace in its talons, with Earth above in the distance. The reverse is engraved with the last names of astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, along with the launch date ("July 16, 1969"), moon landing date ("July 20, 1969"), and return date ("July 24, 1969"). The medallion is serial numbered "282." Condition is mint state, with light overall tarnishing. Includes its original matching case, with typical deteriorating foam.

From the William E. Thornton Collection.
