MEDALS MADE FROM ORIGINAL DIES – THESE APOLLO 11 FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY SILVER MEDALS WERE MADE FROM THE ORIGINAL DIES USED BY THE ROBBINS COMPANY TO STRIKE AN EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBER OF MEDALLIONS THAT TRAVELED ABOARD THE MISSION. THE ROBBINS COMPANY WORKED DIRECTLY WITH THE ASTRONAUTS TO CREATE A MEDAL REPLICATING THE MISSION PATCH DESIGN THAT FEATURED AN AMERICAN EAGLE ABOUT TO LAND ON THE MOON WITH MOTHER EARTH FLOATING ABOVE IN THE BACKGROUND. THE MEDAL’S REVERSE INCLUDES THE NAMES OF THE ASTRONAUTS – ARMSTRONG, COLLINS AND ALDRIN – ALONG WITH THE DATES OF LAUNCH, MOON LANDING AND RETURN. ON THE ORIGINAL MEDALS THAT FLEW IN SPACE, THE DATES WERE LEFT BLANK AND WERE TO BE ENGRAVED UPON THEIR RETURN TO EARTH. IN ADDITION, EACH SILVER MEDAL HAS ALSO BEEN SELECTIVELY LAYERED WITH A METAL ALLOY THAT HAS ACTUALLY FLOWN ON AN APOLLO MISSION!
