Comment
Celebrates the 10 year anniversary of the first (unmanned) lunar landing (Soviet Union's Luna 2), which occurred on the 13th of September, 1959Interesting fact
The 250 Francs Guinéens (Lunar Landing) coin from Guinea, issued in 1969-1970, features an error in its design. The coin was intended to commemorate the lunar landing, but the image on the coin actually depicts a launch of a Saturn V rocket, rather than the lunar landing itself. This mistake makes the coin particularly unique and interesting to collectors.
