Hivers , stackers,
moonpicture
Just one year before I was born, back in 1961, the expression to the moon existed only literally. The Russians and Americans were competing who would put someone in space first time. And like with the covid vaccin Sputnik today the Russians won also in 1961!
To celebrate this they come with a 5 Ounce silver coin To the Moon

Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space on April 12 , 1961 or in Russion letters :
12 АПРЕЛЯ 1961 г.’ (12 APRIL 1961) and ‘60 ЛЕТ ПЕРВОГО ПОЛЕТА ЧЕЛОВЕКА В
КОСМОС’ (THE 60th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT))
I amnot Russioan but the name Yuri is still being used a lot in Western Europe as well.
The specs of the coin made by the RUssioan Mint are:
I did read this on agaunews and it will not be easy to get one due to the limited mintage and because the sellers are not internationally orientated. In other words they do not ship internationally.
So with this post it is probably the first andlast time you have seen them.
Enjoy
