Comment
This coin is part of a series called "Orbital coin" which commemorates the major milestones of the space conquest. The particularity of these coins is the center with a representation of the earth that rotates freely. Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in its design. The coin was meant to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing, but the design mistakenly features an image of Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, instead of the first man on the moon, who was actually Buzz Aldrin. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors.
