Interesting fact

The 1994 Gibraltar 1 Crown coin commemorating the first moon landing features a unique design element - a small, round insert containing a genuine piece of moon rock, sourced from NASA's collection, set into the center of the coin's reverse side. This makes it one of the few coins in the world to incorporate an actual piece of the moon.
