Description

Flown sterling silver Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) Robbins medallion, approximately 1.25˝ in diameter, with a raised mission insignia design on the face—a circular emblem depicting the US Apollo and Soviet Soyuz spacecraft docking together in orbit. The reverse features raised text, "First Joint U.S.—U.S.S.R. Space Flight," and is engraved with the launch and entry dates, July 15, 1975, and July 24, 1975. Serial numbered “74F” on the edge and stamped with Robbins "Sterling" hallmark. Condition is mint state, with minor tarnishing to the reverse. Includes its original matching case. An exceptionally desirable flown silver medallion from the historic cooperative Cold War mission—one of only 93 such examples.

From the William E. Thornton Collection.
