The Cook Islands celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing by issuing a special commemorative coin in 2009, which contains 25 grams (more than 1/2 ounce) of. Unlike many of the Commemorative Apollo coins, this one has the Moon’s cratered surface pressed into both the obverse and the reverse. In addition, a genuine piece of the rare Lunar Meteorite NWA 4881 is embedded in the coin’s reverse. This was one of the hardest coins for me to find when I was collecting. I finally found one, but the owner had mislaid the display case and the certificate of authenticity. I now offer it to you, with my guarantee of authenticity. This damage can be seen in photograph #1.
