Niue Earth Blue Marble 1 oz Silver Proof Coin
On December 7th 1973, astronauts boarded Apollo 17 for a legendary mission to the Moon. One of the astronauts took a photo of Earth at a distance of roughly 28,000 miles. The iconic photo became known as the “Blue Marble”. It captured the Earth in stunning clarity resembling, well, a blue marble.
The 2022 Blue Marble is proof struck in 1 troy oz of .999 pure silver. The obverse is graced with the fifth Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse features two astronauts as they gaze back at the beautiful blue marble in the background.
This skillfully designed coin is absolutely beautiful and would make an excellent addition to any coin collection. Direct from the mint, each coin arrives encapsulated and housed in an elegant display case along with a certificate of authenticity. It’s presented in the factory sealed, theme designed outer box.
