| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a wave of privately issued silver medallions that flooded the collector market in the months following the Apollo 11 lunar landing in July 1969. The "Argenteus Aureus Magnus" designation is a latinized commercial branding applied by the issuing firm, not an official denomination — Germany issued no legal tender coinage commemorating Apollo 11. The X# prefix in the Krause reference confirms non-circulating, non-government status.
The .999 fine silver specification was a deliberate marketing choice, positioning these against bullion rather than numismatic issues.
