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?

The item is a privately produced medal, not a coin.

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.

its not a medal,the stuff around it have been added later, its italian because there's written 1° terra-luna which means 1st moon-earth in italian.

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.
