Interesting fact
The Apollo 8 coin from Fiji features a unique design that showcases the Apollo 8 spacecraft orbiting the Moon, with the Earth visible in the background. This design is particularly interesting because it highlights the historic mission that took place in 1968, where Apollo 8 became the first manned spacecraft to orbit the Moon. The coin's design serves as a reminder of the groundbreaking achievements in space exploration and the collaboration between nations in the pursuit of scientific discovery.
