Historic flown sterling silver Apollo 17 Robbins medallion, approximately 1.25″ in diameter, featuring a raised design of the mission insignia on the face—an image of Apollo, the Greek sun god, with a stylized eagle, the moon, Saturn, and a galaxy in the background. The reverse is encircled with raised text, “America-Challenger, Apollo XVII, The Beginning,” and is engraved with the launch date of December 6, 1972, the moon landing date of December 11, 1972, and the reentry date of December 19, 1972. The medal is serial numbered “F36” on the edge, and stamped with the Robbins "Sterling" hallmark. Condition is mint state. Includes its original matching case.
This is one of the most sought-after and difficult-to-obtain of all the Apollo flown medals, as only eighty were flown on man's final voyage to the moon—the fewest number of Robbins medallions carried on any Apollo mission.
From the William E. Thornton Collection.
