Comment
THIS COIN IS PART OF A 26 COIN SERIES COMMEMORATING SPACE EXPLORATIONInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Marshall Islands' 1989 "First Docking in Space" silver coin is that it commemorates the historic docking of the Soviet Union's Mir space station with the US Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1995. This event marked the first time a space shuttle had docked with a space station, and it paved the way for future international space collaborations. The coin's design features an image of the two spacecraft docked together, surrounded by the words "First Docking in Space" and the dates "1995-1989" (the year the coin was issued). This coin is a unique and fascinating collectible for anyone interested in space exploration and international cooperation.
