| Additional information |
No coin officially issued by the Federal Republic of Germany carries the designation "Argenteus - Aureus Magnus Apollo 8." This appears to be a privately struck medal or fantasy piece, likely produced to commemorate the Apollo 8 mission of December 1968 — the first crewed spacecraft to orbit the Moon — rather than a government-authorized currency issue.
