The Perth Mint :: 35th Anniversary of the First Moon Walk

World First Dynamic Imaging Coin
The Perth Mint is proud to announce the world's first coin incorporating Dynamic Imaging, issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. 99.9% Pure Proof Silver
Struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, the coin celebrates the 35th anniversary of man's first walk on the moon, an historic event broadcast to millions worldwide via Australia's radio telescope at Parkes Observatory, NSW. Historic Commemoration
On 20 July 1969, Neil Armstrong descended from the Eagle lunar module, taking 'one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind'. Shortly afterwards, he was joined by mission colleague Buzz Aldrin and together the two astronauts completed their historic moon walk. Spectacular Reverse Design
The coin's reverse incorporates three NASA pictures of Apollo 11's momentous mission. Using Dynamic Imaging, developed by Kodak, the high-quality colour images 'morph' miraculously from one to another as the viewing angle is changed.

The images depict the Apollo 11 Saturn Five space rocket, astronaut Buzz Aldrin's space suit and helmet, and the deployment of the United States flag on the surface of the moon by Armstrong and Aldrin.

The words 35th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST MOON WALK and the 2004 year-date are also included on the reverse.
