Fujairah 10 riyals Apollo XI Moon Landing Program proof silver coin 1970

This elegant 10 riyals silver coin from Fujairah, issued in 1970, commemorates the Apollo XI Moon Landing Program—an event that forever changed human history. Struck in Proof quality, this coin captures the moment when mankind first set foot on the Moon, combining historical importance with refined numismatic craftsmanship.

The obverse is dominated by a large, textured depiction of the Moon’s cratered surface, surrounded by a polished field adorned with small stars and the inscription “MOON 1969.” Along the lower edge are three raised astronaut portraits—Collins, Neil Armstrong, and Aldrin—each identified by name, representing the crew of Apollo XI. The contrast between the frosted relief and mirrored background enhances the depth and visual impact of the design.

The reverse features the national coat of arms of Fujairah: a central shield with crossed flags and rifles, flanked by Arabic inscriptions, along with the denomination “10 Riyals” and the date “1970.” A beaded border frames the composition, emphasizing its formal and balanced layout.

This coin symbolizes human courage, innovation, and exploration. Its historical theme, detailed engraving, and attractive Proof finish make it a desirable addition to any collection of world coins or space memorabilia.
