Aanvullende informatie

The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage in 1986 under a program that leaned heavily on American iconography — unsurprising given the islands' status as a U.S. territory in free association. This Apollo 11 issue appeared twenty-five years after the July 1969 landing, part of a wave of anniversary pieces from small-nation mints that flooded the market through the 1980s and 1990s. Collector demand was brisk at issue but secondary market premiums never materialized; the series was overproduced relative to sustained numismatic interest.
