Earth shines blue in an astronaut’s visor against the dark surface of this 2024 Barbados silver coin. The lunar landscape, spacesuit and equipment are rendered in ultra-high relief, while selective colour draws the eye towards the reflection. Its black proof finish gives the scene a dramatic contrast, turning the anniversary of the first Moon landing into a finely detailed composition in silver.

The 38 mm design gives its raised details a concentrated sculptural presence, from the folds of the spacesuit to the lunar module behind the astronaut. A mintage of 1,969 recalls the year of the landing, complementing the 55th-anniversary inscription. Presented in a display box, this is a distinctive tribute to human achievement through finish, relief and colour. Bring the Moon landing into focus at FORTYMILLION.
