2024 Barbados S$5 Moon Landing
Stunning black proof Silver coin in honour of the first man on the moon.
Crafted in ultra-high relief with a black proof finish, the coin perfectly captures the cosmic essence of the moon landing.
The astronaut’s visor is finished with partial colour print, creating a striking visual effect. It reflects the earth, symbolizing the awe-inspiring moment when humanity reached the stars.
