Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1970 Guinea 2000 Francs Guinéens (Apollo XIII) gold coin is that it was issued to commemorate the Apollo 13 mission, which was intended to be the third manned mission to land on the moon. However, the mission was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded, and the astronauts had to use the lunar module as a lifeboat to return to Earth. Despite the mission's failure, the coin was still issued as a symbol of the bravery and achievement of the astronauts.
