Comment
Australian ingenuity and technology played a major role in receiving and transmitting the television of this historic event. Radio antennas at NASA's Honeysuckle Creek Station ACT and CSIRO's Parkes Observatory NSW (pictured) were in position to share the televised broadcast with the world. Fifty years later, the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing is still regarded as a triumph of human endeavour.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique dome-shaped design, which gives the impression of a 3D globe, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
