Apollo 11 Landing Commemorative Copper Round - AP0001

As you hold this 1 oz copper round, the obverse reveals a scene that echoes through time. Crafted from fine .999 copper bullion, bears subtle yet striking coloration.

• • Gold Tones: Imagine the sun’s brilliance—the moment when Neil Armstrong took that giant leap for mankind. Here, the gold tones evoke the promise of exploration and the courage of astronauts.
  • Red and Blue Hues: These colors dance across the round, reminiscent of Earth’s flag—the very flag planted on the lunar surface. Red for valor, blue for perseverance. A tribute to the mission’s success.
  • Lunar Lander: At the center, the lunar module descends, its legs touching the moon’s dusty surface. The delicate details capture the engineering marvel that carried humanity beyond our world.
  • Neil Armstrong: Neil Armstrong—the first human to set foot on the moon. His visor reflects the cosmos, and his determination echoes in the sculpted lines.
  • American Flag: Adjacent to Armstrong, the American flag ripples in the vacuum of space, symbolizing unity, aspiration, and the indomitable spirit of exploration.
  • Flip the round, and the reverse transports you to the moon’s desolate landscape. The rich brown patina, slightly pearlescent, mimics the lunar regolith—the powdery surface where Armstrong left his mark.
  • Lunar Footprints: Tiny footprints traverse the reverse, leading toward the edge. They represent not just Armstrong’s steps but humanity’s leap into the unknown.
  • Pearlescent Glow: When angled just right, the round reveals a subtle iridescence—a nod to the moon’s mysterious allure. It’s as if the round holds a secret whispered by the cosmos.
  • American Flag Redux: Here, the flag stands tall, its stars and stripes etched with precision. It’s a beacon of achievement, a testament to human ingenuity and collective dreams. 
  • Numismatists and space enthusiasts alike cherish this copper round. It’s more than metal; it’s a tangible connection to an epochal moment. Display it proudly, perhaps alongside a model of the lunar module or a well-worn telescope or carry it with you for good luck. Let it spark conversations about exploration, courage, and the boundless cosmos.

So there you have it—a glimpse into the Apollo 11 moon landing captured in copper. May this round continue to inspire wonder and curiosity, just as that historic mission did. 🌎🌗✨
