Fujairah 10 riyals Apollo 13 Moon Landing Space PR 68 PCGS silver coin 1970

This striking 10 riyals silver coin from Fujairah, issued in 1970, commemorates the Apollo 13 space mission—one of the most dramatic chapters in space exploration history. Minted in a beautiful Proof finish and graded PR68 by PCGS, it reflects both numismatic artistry and the global fascination with the Apollo program.

The reverse features the national emblem: a shield with crossed flags and rifles, surrounded by Arabic inscriptions, the denomination “10 Riyals,” and the date “1970,” all framed by a beaded border. The obverse presents a dynamic and detailed composition: multiple Apollo mission insignia including Apollo 11 and Apollo 13, a Saturn rocket within a circular medallion, and the engraved names Lovell, Swigert, and Haise. A powerful image of three galloping horses appears against radiant sun rays, symbolizing motion and perseverance. Additional elements include a spacecraft, lunar terrain with craters, stars, and the inscription “APOLLO XIII.”

Apollo 13 became a symbol of resilience and ingenuity after overcoming a near-catastrophic failure and safely returning to Earth. This coin captures that spirit, making it a meaningful collectible for space enthusiasts and world coin collectors.
