Additional information

Togo had no meaningful connection to the Apollo program, and the coin exists purely as a modern commemorative struck for the collector market — one of dozens of nearly identical lunar anniversary pieces produced by various African franc-zone nations in 1999 through the Monnaie de Paris and affiliated private minting operations. The 30th anniversary of Apollo 11 generated a wave of such issues, most sharing identical or near-identical specifications across multiple issuing authorities.
