| Aanvullende informatie |
Gemini XII launched in November 1966 as the final mission of NASA's Gemini program, with Buzz Aldrin logging over five hours of EVA time — a record that stood until the early Skylab missions and directly resolved the spacewalk fatigue problems that had plagued earlier flights. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has issued commemorative silver pieces tied to space exploration themes since the early 2000s, largely through licensed distribution agreements with European coin marketing firms rather than through any domestic numismatic tradition.
