kalash New Member Italy 2 Posts	Posted 12/20/2011 11:55 am any idea of how old this coin may be? I received it as a gift from an old woman my mother works for, its a commemorative coin of apollo 11. I searched on google the different commemorative coins but nothing similar to this one. is it any worth? if the images are not enough I may make a video or more photos. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16857 Posts	Posted 12/20/2011 7:42 pm It might have been made in Italy, but it's not Italian. If it were, it would say "Luglio" instead of "July". All sorts of people all over the world made unofficial Apollo 11 medals back then. I don't think any of them are particularly scarce or valuable. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2889 Posts	Posted 12/22/2011 3:26 pm No - it is a medal - there never has been a coin like this issued by any recognised authority. It is some sort of privately made issue. The surround may or may not be contemporary with it. Tera luna is actually Latin (from which many languages are derived) so it could have been produced anywhere - it doesn't have to be Italy. Here in the UK Latin is still used for many mottos and legends.
