A Beautiful First

Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 17 Moon landing, 2022 Niue Earth Blue Marble 1oz Silver Colored Proof displays the first image of Earth to show the full planet lit by Sun. This landmark achievement and image soon spread all over the world, on television and in newspapers and magazines.

According to the mint,

The 2022 Earth Blue Marble SILVER COIN is an out-of-this-world tribute to a historic milestone – the majestic ‘Blue Marble’ image!

In 1972, an inspired snapshot by Apollo 17 revealed the Earth’s full disk beautifully lit for the first time. Arguably the most reproduced image in history, when the ‘Blue Marble’ photograph reached Earth, it was splashed across the front page of newspapers. Humanity inhaled a collective gasp… this truly significant moment gave us a new, and humbling, perspective of our uniqueness in the otherwise lifeless void of space.

A Giant Leap for Mankind

The obverse displays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Inscriptions include, "ELIZABETH II. NIUE 2022. ONE DOLLAR . 1 oz .9999 SILVER." The reverse shows the famous "Blue Marble" image in stunning detail. Also featured are two of the brave astronauts who made this image possible hiking on our Moon. A lunar lander waits patiently in the background. Inscriptions are: "EARTH. BLUE MARBLE."

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of this historical event with a coin worthy of such an accomplishment! But with a very low mintage of only 750, the 2022 Niue Earth Blue Marble 1oz Silver Colored Proof is sure to sell out quickly. Reserve yours today, and be a part of history!
