| Reverse description | A colorized commemorative design celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 8 mission of 1968. The central field features a full-color photographic depiction of the Apollo 8 Command and Service Module in orbit, set against a detailed color image of the lunar surface. To the upper left, a colorized rendering of the Earth as seen from lunar orbit evokes the famous 'Earthrise' photograph. Engraved stars and spatial motifs fill the background field, with the numeral '50' in a circular cartouche at the upper right. The legends 'APOLLO 8' appear at the top within a banner, and '1968 FAR SIDE OF THE MOON' is inscribed along the lower rim within a segmented border. |
