Description

Rare flown SpaceX sterling silver coin that was carried to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of MISSE-FF and the inaugural set of experiments, called Materials International Space Station Experiment-9 (MISSE-9), which were launched during the SpaceX CRS-14 mission on April 2, 2018. This coin, No. 20, was one of 50 included with the MISSE-9 and deployed (opened to space) on April 19, 2018. The coins were returned to Earth as part of the SpaceX CRS-17 mission on June 3, 2019.

The coin, 1.5˝ in diameter, 31 gm, features embossed images of the six Space Shuttle orbiters— Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour—with a capsule to coin center containing flown material from all six Space Shuttles. Attractively framed to an overall size of 7 x 9.
