Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. facing left; and Friendship 7 astronaut John Herschel Glenn Jr. facing right, representing the two historic missions. The design also features a partial view of the earth from orbit, as well as a horizon line with an astronaut walking on the lunar surface facing the flag. The names of all four astronauts, “JOHN GLENN,” “NEIL ARMSTRONG,” “MICHAEL COLLINS” and “BUZZ ALDRIN,” are inscribed along the outer rim.

The reverse features the Lunar Excursion Module orbiting the moon and the Friendship 7 mission capsule orbiting the earth with the inscription “WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND.”
