Flown sterling silver Apollo 16 Robbins medallion, approximately 1.5˝ in diameter, featuring a raised design of the mission insignia on the face—a patriotic shield surmounted by an American eagle over the moon's cratered surface, with the crew's surnames in the lower border. The reverse is engraved with the launch date of April 16, 1972, moon landing date of April 20, 1972, and return date of April 27, 1972. The medal is serial numbered "79" on the edge, and stamped with the Robbins "Sterling" hallmark. Condition is mint state, with a spot of tarnishing to the edge. Includes its original matching case. This is the second scarcest Apollo-flown medallion in the Robbins series, with just 98 of the 300 minted carried on the Apollo 16 mission.
From the William E. Thornton Collection.
