Silver Ounce 2019 Moon Landing, RAM, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The Australian one ounce silver piece (abbreviated as 1 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") is a bullion and commemorative coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products.

Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used.

This coin commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the First Moon Landing.

"That is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"; Neil Armstrong said this famous phrase in July 1969 when he was the first person to step on the surface of the moon. The successful landing of United States spacecraft Apollo 11’s Lunar Module "Eagle" on the Moon has been watched by more than half a billion people on TV.
