| Obverse description | Against a deeply mirrored proof field, the obverse depicts a scene commemorating the Apollo 11 lunar landing of 21 July 1969. In the lower field, a fully suited astronaut stands to the left facing the lunar module, which rests on the cratered lunar surface at center-right; a second, smaller astronaut figure is visible near the module's base. Above, the Earth is rendered as a globe in the upper left field, while the Apollo command and service module appears in the upper right. The circumferential Latin legend reads LUNAM CALCAVIT 21 · VII · 1969, meaning 'He walked on the Moon, 21 July 1969,' arranged around the entire periphery of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the busts of the three Apollo 11 astronauts in left-facing profile, depicted wearing space helmets, arranged in an overlapping composition across the field. The figures are set against a dramatic diagonal band of dark field bisecting the design, evoking the trajectory of the mission through space; stylized lightning bolts or rocket exhaust streaks accent the dark band. A Maltese cross or starburst device appears in the upper right field. The surnames of the crew are inscribed in three stacked lines in the lower left field: COLLINS / ALDRIN / ARMSTRONG. |
