| Reverse description | Three conjoined busts of the Apollo XI astronauts are depicted in the central field, each identified by an engraved name inscription beneath: 'M. COLLINS' (Michael Collins), 'N. ARMSTRONG' (Neil Armstrong), and 'E. ALDRIN' (Buzz Aldrin, born Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr.). A crescent moon and stars occupy the upper portion of the design, evoking the lunar mission theme. The bilingual legend 'القَمر ١٩٦٩ / MOON 1969' appears at upper left in both Arabic and Latin scripts, commemorating the historic first crewed lunar landing of July 1969. |
