This auction is for one Apollo 12 Commemorative medallion minted with metal that was flown around the moon in the Command Module "Yankee Clipper". The Apollo12 crew are regarded as the most close-knit and fun-loving crew of all the moonlandings - Struck by lightning on launch, the mission was nearly aborted - only Al Bean's famous "SCE to Aux" switch throw saved the entire mission when the lightning strike threw the entire electrical systems of the spacecraft offline. Al was less fortunate on splashdown, when a loose camera fell from it's mount, momentarily knocking him out.

Unlike the other medallions I have on offer, this one was minted by a private company so is not an official NASA issue. It has stunning 3D relief on both sides.

The medallion is approx 4.4cm in diameter and protected in a plastic coin case which you can leave on or take off as you prefer - this ensures each medallion is in absolute mint condition when you receive it.

Note that the auction photo shows the front (obverse) and rear (reverse) of the medallion - you are bidding on one medallion

Shipping is $6.00 traced to any NZ address (including RD and PO Box addresses) - this covers up to 10 medallions from my auctions and is insured

I will ship unprotected in an envelope for $2 but this is entirely at buyer risk.

If you want to purchase more than one of the medallions on auction use Buy It Now for one and let me know which others you'd like - I'll discount for multiple auctions as well :-)

I also have NASA Medallions with flown metal from the Apollo and Constellation programmes, NASA Dryden Flight Research Centre medallions containing metal flown on X planes , metal from the first Shuttle 'Enterprise' and also from the two Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. .

Questions are always welcome but please make sure to ask (and get an answer) before bidding. Enjoy!
