All pic are of the same coin
Still available at Perth Mint
2004 35th Anniversary of the
First Moon Walk
Australian One Dollar
1oz Silver Proof Dollar Coin
A world first, this stunning proof silver coin marks the 35th Anniversary of man's greatest technological achievement. Thanks to Dynamic Imaging, a Kodak - developed process, it features interlaced NASA pictures of Apollo 11's momentous mission, which 'morph' miraculously from one to another as the coin's viewing angle is changed. Given that Australia's Honeysuckle Creek and Parkes radio telescope enabled millions across the world to watch Armstrong and Aldrin's 1969 moon walk, this sensational coin carries Australian legal tender status. The 1oz silver proof coin is struck from 99.9% pure silver. The interlaced images incorporated in the 35th Anniversary of the first moon walk commemorative coin depicts the Apollo 11 Saturn Five space rocket, astronaut Buzz Aldrin's space suit and helmet, and the deployment of the United States flag on the surface of the moon by Armstrong and Aldrin.
The words 35th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST MOON WALK and 2004 year date are included on the reverse. This coin has a mintage of no more than 40,000 coins worldwide. Even though the mintage is very generous, this is a very popular theme and a first of it kind and will be popular for years to come. All coins are housed in a stylish, blue coloured presentation case, accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.

The more I see stuff like this, the more I am glad I parted with almost all of my modern decimal material.

Rubbish on that statement. It's still available after 5 years!
Seriously coins should not made to be something they are not
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
