Interesting fact
The 1994 Gibraltar 1 Crown coin commemorating the "First Man on the Moon - Eagle has landed" features a unique design element. The coin's reverse side depicts the lunar module Eagle landing on the moon's surface, with the words "Eagle Has Landed" inscribed above it. However, if you look closely, you'll notice that the letters "E" and "A" in "Eagle" are connected, forming a subtle "Astronaut Helmet" design. This clever design detail adds an extra layer of meaning and depth to the coin's celebration of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing.
