Thanks for viewing!

Up for sale is the 2019 Ascension Island Coin minted to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the landing of the first man on the moon!  Obverse image shows the image of an astronaut saluting the viewer with the American flag and the Eagle Lunar module in the background.  It also features the officially approved NASA logo in the background!

With its direct link to the Apollo 11 Mission, it is particularly apt that this coin is being released on behalf of
the Government of Ascension Island. Devil’s Ashpit on the eastern side of Ascension Island made a perfect site to build a NASA tracking station. With volcanic peaks surrounding the site it provided a natural shield against radar and other interference from elsewhere on the island. Originally constructed in 1965 to support the earlier Surveyor missions, it also supported the later deep space and Apollo manned missions and tracked Apollo 11 on its flight from the Earth to the Moon.
