Reverse description
Vibrant, colorized vignette commemorates the 40th anniversary of Space Shuttle Discovery, with the orbiter depicted in near-Earth orbit against a deep-blue celestial expanse that includes a stylized Earth and NASA insignia. The surrounding legend, “40TH ANNIVERSARY – SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY,” unifies the design’s celebratory theme, while the juxtaposition of advanced minting techniques—mirror-polished fields, raised frosted devices, and color application—exemplifies contemporary numismatic craftsmanship.
