Unflown sterling silver Apollo-Soyuz Robbins medal, possibly a prototype, approximately 1.25″ in diameter, featuring a raised design of the mission insignia on the face. The reverse is engraved with the launch date of July 15, 1975, and the reentry date of July 24, 1975, between which is raised text, "First Joint U.S.-U.S.S.R. Space Flight." The medal lacks a serial number and is stamped with the Robbins hallmark on the edge. Condition is near mint state, with moderate tarnishing to the reverse and edges. Accompanied by a small plastic box with stiff blue liner; the liner insert is not form-fitted to the medallion. From the collection of a former Robbins Company executive.
