The Cook Islands 5 Dollars “Moon Landing – Meteorite Apollo 11 / Luna III” silver coin 2009 is an extraordinary commemorative issue honoring humanity’s exploration of the Moon. Struck in fine silver and graded MS70 by NGC, this coin celebrates both the first manned Moon landing of Apollo 11 and the historic images of the Moon’s far side transmitted by Luna III.
The design is dominated by a dramatic textured lunar surface, realistically recreating craters and rugged terrain. A small square inset contains an authentic meteorite fragment, symbolizing the cosmic origin of the Moon and adding tangible space heritage to the piece. Along the rim, inscriptions mark the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11 and commemorate the Dark Side of the Moon and the Anniversary of Luna III (1959–2009). The obverse features a subtle effigy of Queen Elizabeth II integrated into the cratered surface, with “Cook Islands” and the denomination “5 Dollars” inscribed along the edge.
Certified MS70 by NGC, this flawless specimen combines numismatics and space history in a powerful artistic composition. A must-have for collectors of space exploration, Apollo missions, lunar science, and meteorite coins.
