The 50 Dollar First Space Walk coin from Marshall Islands features an error in its design. The coin was minted with an incorrect image of the first human to conduct a spacewalk, Alexei Leonov, who was a Soviet cosmonaut. Instead, the coin features an image of Neil Armstrong, an American astronaut who was the first person to walk on the moon. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors.
