Out Of This World Australia In Space 2024 $1 C Mintmark Proof Coin

The design also includes Earth, with the Australian continent clearly visible, and the moon, as an homage to the country's role in relaying the live television signal during Apollo 11, the first moon landing, and to an Australian-built robotic rover that will explore the lunar surface as part of NASA's Artemis program.
