Apollo 11 Coin & Stamp Set

The Eisenhower Dollar, first produced in 1971 and minted through 1978, was America’s first “space” coin. The reverse of the coin is an adaptation of the Apollo 11 insignia commemorating the landing of the first American man on the moon. The coin in this set was never in circulation. The First Man on the Moon issue was the first large size commemorative stamp. The master die to this stamp accompanied the astronauts all the way to the moon’s surface. The background is a fanciful composite of some of the most famous images from the first space walk.

Apollo 11 Coin & Stamp Set – Eisenhower Dollar with Apollo 11 Reverse and First Man on the Moon Commemorative Stamp

Celebrate one of humanity’s greatest achievements with the Apollo 11 Coin & Stamp Set, a stunning collectible honoring the first successful manned lunar landing in 1969. This set brings together two iconic pieces of American history: an uncirculated Eisenhower Dollar featuring the Apollo 11 mission insignia on the reverse, and the First Man on the Moon commemorative stamp, the first large‑format U.S. commemorative stamp ever issued. Together, they form a powerful tribute to the astronauts, engineers, and visionaries who made the Moon landing possible.

The Eisenhower Dollar – America’s First “Space” Coin

The Eisenhower Dollar, minted from 1971 through 1978, holds a special place in U.S. numismatic history as America’s first “space” coin. Its reverse design is a direct adaptation of the official Apollo 11 mission insignia, commemorating the moment when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon.

Designed by Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro, the reverse features a bald eagle landing on the lunar surface, clutching an olive branch—symbolizing both the achievement of the mission and the peaceful intentions of space exploration. The Earth rises in the background, a reminder of the unity and global significance of the Apollo program.

The Eisenhower Dollar included in this set is uncirculated, meaning it was never released into general circulation. Its crisp details and clean surfaces make it especially desirable for collectors who appreciate the artistry and symbolism of this historic coin.

The First Man on the Moon Stamp – A Commemorative Milestone

The First Man on the Moon stamp, issued in 1969, was the first large‑size commemorative stamp ever produced by the United States Post Office Department. Its bold design and oversized format reflected the magnitude of the Apollo 11 achievement. The stamp features an astronaut stepping onto the lunar surface, accompanied by the words “First Man on the Moon,” capturing the awe and pride felt across the nation.

One of the most remarkable facts about this stamp is that the master die used to create it traveled with the Apollo 11 astronauts all the way to the Moon’s surface. This extraordinary detail makes the stamp not only a commemorative piece but also a direct connection to the mission itself. Few collectibles can claim such a unique and symbolic link to space exploration.

A Background That Brings the Moon Landing to Life

The backdrop of this set is a fanciful composite of iconic images from the first lunar spacewalk, including the stark, otherworldly landscape of the Moon’s surface. These images evoke the sense of wonder that captivated millions of viewers around the world as they watched the historic broadcast on July 20, 1969.

The combination of coin, stamp, and imagery creates a cohesive and visually compelling display that honors the bravery of the astronauts and the technological triumph of the Apollo program.
