2021 Ghana 2 Cedis 32-gm Titanium First Space Shuttle Launch 40th Anniversary Uncirculated

Celebrate 40 Years of Historic Space Travel Aboard the Space Shuttle

On April 12, 1981, the space shuttle Columbia rocketed into orbit to become the first reusable orbital spacecraft, fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of scientists everywhere, and the dreams of science-fiction fans the world over. In the 40 years since NASA sent the sleek black-and-white spacecraft skyward, a fleet of space shuttles has done everything from launching satellites, to making corrections on the Hubble telescope to unloading top-secret military payloads. Now, to pay tribute to the very first shuttle launch, the West African nation of Ghana has released a spectacular titanium coin so limited it that it will be in the numismatic world’s orbit for only a short time before it disappears!

The Maiden Voyage of Space Shuttle Columbia

Struck in 32 grams of highly pure 90% titanium, this 2 Cedis legal-tender coin features a colorized inner ring showing an image of Columbia, the first Space Transportation System (STS) vessel, on the launching pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The gantry can be seen to the left while Columbia’s rockets are bursting with smoke as it begins its inexorable climb to the Heavens. At right is the Space Shuttle emblem and around the coin’s outer ring are the inscriptions “SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM – STS” and “40th ANNIVERSARY 1981 – 2021.”
