Owner Comments:
Similar to Australia, Spain was instrumental in receiving transmissions from the Apollo 11 mission, which is why this coin included a dish in the design. it was a monitoring station in Spain and a Spaniard operating that station that first received confirmation that the Eagle had landed. That 22 year old technician names Carlos Gonzalez knew about the success of the mission before president Richard Nixon. 10,000 of these coins were minted, and this coin was given serial number 7598.
