Where it came from
Released in 2019 by the Royal Australian Mint, this 5-cent coin was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. This mission held particular significance for Australia, as the Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station near Canberra played a critical role in receiving and relaying the first television images of the moonwalk to the rest of the world.
The reverse design features a depiction of the lunar module Eagle resting on the lunar surface, accompanied by the text '50 Years of Moon Landing' and the denomination. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley. The piece was released as part of a wider numismatic program celebrating the achievement, intended to appeal to both space enthusiasts and traditional coin collectors.
