The 2019-W Apollo 11 50th Anniversary $5 Gold Proof Coin is a masterful tribute marking the 50th anniversary of the historic July 20, 1969 moon landing. Struck in a curved format at the West Point Mint, this special issue was one of only two curved gold coins ever minted in United States Mint history. It features a unique concave obverse and convex reverse with a brilliant proof finish that beautifully highlights the historic moment Buzz Aldrin stood on the lunar surface, making it an essential centerpiece for collectors of classic and modern American numismatics.

Reverse Design: Showcases Phebe Hemphill's convex design featuring a detailed close-up reflection in astronaut Buzz Aldrin's visor, showing Neil Armstrong, the U.S. flag, and the Lunar Module 'Eagle' on the moon's surface.
