Flown sterling silver Apollo 15 Robbins medallion, approximately 1.5˝ diameter, with a raised design on the face of the Apollo 15 mission insignia—three stylized birds soaring over the moon's Hadley-Apennine region, encircled by the names of the mission and crew. The reverse reads, "Man's Flight Through Life Is Sustained by the Power of His Knowledge," and is engraved with the launch date of July 26, 1971; moon landing date of July 30, 1971; and return date of August 7, 1971. The medallion is serial numbered "088" and stamped on the edge with the Robbins "Sterling" hallmark. Condition is mint state. Includes its original case, missing its serial number label. Due to weight restrictions, only the first 127 of 304 minted Robbins medals were carried into space during the Apollo 15 mission—making the flown, lower-number examples exceptionally desirable.
From the William E. Thornton Collection.
