The images broadcast worldwide depicting Man’s first steps on the Moon were therefore images captured by Australian stations. A third observatory located in the United States was also to receive Apollo 11 emissions, but what it received was unusable. These were the Parkes and Honeysuckle Creek observatories in Australia.

The article will be completed by new coin issues that will be announced worldwide.Īustralia has been very significantly associated with the History of Apollo 11. As we have done since launch of NUMISMAG, for this type of quasi-universal coin issues, our editorial team offers you an article that presents a summary of these issues, marking a major event in our common history. This is the reason why many National Mints around the world have decided to issue commemorative coins to celebrate this event in 2019, year of APPOLO 11 50th anniversary. APPOLO 11 has forever marked the history of space conquest and the history of mankind.
