Fujairah 10 riyals Apollo XIV Moon Landing Space PF 68 NGC silver coin 1970

This impressive 10 riyals silver coin from Fujairah, issued in 1970, celebrates the historic Apollo XIV Moon Landing—one of NASA’s most important missions that reaffirmed mankind’s ability to explore and study the lunar surface. Struck in exceptional Proof quality and graded PF68 by NGC, the coin stands out for its sharp detail and mirror-like fields.

The obverse features a striking space composition: a large cratered Moon occupies the lower field, its textured relief showing numerous impact craters and subtle surface variations. Above it, a stylized rocket ascends in a graceful arc, leaving three sweeping trails that emphasize motion and direction. A prominent star marks the rocket’s trajectory, while a ringed planet floats nearby, surrounded by several smaller stars scattered across the reflective background. The inscriptions “APOLLO 14” and “1971” complete the dynamic celestial scene.

The reverse presents the coat of arms of Fujairah—a central shield with crossed flags and rifles, symbolizing strength and heritage. Arabic inscriptions encircle the design, alongside the denomination “10 Riyals,” the year “1970,” and a decorative beaded border.

Apollo 14 played a crucial role in restoring confidence in lunar missions and advancing scientific exploration. This beautifully executed coin is a perfect blend of historical significance and artistic design, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors.
