Description

Original artwork and proof stamping of the Apollo 11 die which went to the moon

Three negatives of the original artwork from which the Apollo 11 Medal die was made. Each measures approximately 4 x 3.25, with one image of one side, and two variations of the reverse, with one obviously dropped in favor of the other; and a proof strike of the die that went to the Moon on board Apollo 11. Struck on both sides of a 6 x 6 sheet of metal, the relief strike commemorates the mission on one side, with reverse stating “The die for this medallion was carried to the moon and back by the crew of Apollo 11 in July 1969,” and bears the facsimile signatures of all three crew members. A rare and interesting artifact from the most famous of the Apollo missions. RRAuction COA.
