- Summary
- This commemorative coin is one of thirteen Apollo program commemorative coins displayed in a leather album. The Peoples National Bank of New Jersey commissioned The Franklin Mint to create seventy-five sets in total, many of which were presented to the Apollo program astronauts. The first of the coins commemorates the unmanned, suborbital SA-201 mission in February 1966, while the last commemorates the Apollo 12 mission. Apollo 12 flew from November 14-24, 1969, and was the second manned lunar landing. Charles Conrad, Jr., Richard Gordon, Jr., and Alan Bean were the astronauts. There were five subsequent Apollo missions (Apollo 13 through 17), four of which successfully landed men on the moon.
