2019 Canada $100 1/2-oz Gold Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Domed Proof NGC PF70 w/Black Core & Charlie Duke Signature

This Apollo 11 Gold Proof is a Commemorative That Has Some Real Legs to It!

While there’s no question that American moxie, guts and ingenuity were the main factors to Apollo 11 being the first manned mission to the moon, the Herculean task was aided in no small part by a group of Canadian engineers who played a vital role in delivering the American astronauts to the lunar surface on July 20, 1969. In fact, even before Neil Armstrong made his famous small step for man, the lunar landing module’s Canadian-made legs had settled into the moon’s bleak and dusty surface.

To pay tribute to its often-overlooked contribution, Canada has released a magnificent series of Apollo 11 Moon landing 50th Anniversary coins that honor both the American mission and its astronauts as well as the Canadian contribution that helped get them to the moon – and back! Struck by the world-renowned Royal Canadian Mint in a half ounce of 99.99% pure gold, this incredible dome-shaped coin features an astronaut hopping across the moon’s surface while the lunar lander rests safely in the background. The astronaut’s right leg seems about to step off the coin’s upward-curved surface as if he’s about to take a giant leap into the unknown!

Around the rim of the coin an inscription reads: “Man has reached out and touched the tranquil moon” in English, and “May the discovery of this high place make it possible for man to find peace on Earth” in French. The design is completed by the dual dates of 1969 and 2019 and 50th Anniversary. The coin’s deep bowl-like obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II at the bottom along with the issuing country, and $100 denomination around the rim.

Your 2019 Canada Half-Ounce Gold Apollo 11 coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 (PF70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.

As a special added feature, these coins will come sonically sealed in acrylic holders with black display cores that feature exclusive labels personally signed by astronaut Charles “Charlie” Duke. As CAPCOM (Capsule Communicator) for the landmark Apollo 11 mission, he was literally the voice of Mission Control for millions of people watching on television and listening on the radio as the historic mission unfolded. Duke made history himself a few years later, becoming the youngest man to walk on the moon as part of Apollo 16 in 1972.

Just 700 of these beautifully struck proof coins have been issued for worldwide release – a number that seems far too small for all the Canadian collectors who would like to own this fabulous proof, let alone everyone across the globe craving to get their hands on one! An anniversary commemorating an event of this magnitude may come around perhaps once in a lifetime.
