Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in the design. The coin was intended to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Apollo II moon landing, but the design mistakenly features the image of the Apollo I spacecraft instead. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors.
