Flown Apollo 11 Robbins medallion from the charm bracelet of moonwalker Edgar Mitchell's wife

Historic flown sterling silver Apollo 11 Robbins medallion with later gold gilding and addition of a jump ring for inclusion on the charm bracelet of Louise Randall, the wife of Apollo 14 LMP Edgar Mitchell, measuring 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 encircled by the last names of astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, and engraved with the launch date ("July 16, 1969"), moon landing date ("July 20, 1969"), and return date ("July 24, 1969"). The medallion is serial numbered "414." Encapsulated and graded by NGC as "AU Details," with the label noting the provenance, "Ex. Edgar Mitchell." Accompanied by a certificate depicting the complete charm bracelet, which carried flown medallions from eleven Gemini and Apollo missions.
