Collect Space coins

Hello coin collector

Thank you for visiting my website, I am a collector of space coins (coins not medals) for more than 20 years.

I am still searching and finding new coins. In 2006 there where just a few new coins. In 2007, 2008 and 2009 I found a lot of new coins. You can see the pictures on this website. If you want te see al the space coins from 1969 till now you have to buy the catalogue.

 

2007 50th anniversary of the Sputnik

In 2007 it was 50 years ago when the sputnik was launched. There where made many new coins about this anniversary  you can see the pictures off these coins on the website. I have now 18 different coins!!

2009 International Year of Astronomy

The year 2009 is the international year of astronomy and there will be a lot off new coins with this theme. Australia made the first coins about this theme. You can see them on the site.

There will be new coins from Kazakhstan, cook Islands and the USA in 2009 and many more countries

2009 is also "the 40th and 50th anniversaries of exploring the moon" (see also pictures in the photo album  2009 coins)

By launching the space probe Luna 3 on October 4, 1959 the Soviet Union initiated a new step for the footrace to the moon. With a small camera the space probe succeeded to take first photos of the earths averted side of the moon which no human being has ever seen before - „dark side of the moon“. The pictures were of poor quality; however the highlands and lowlands were clearly recognisable. The big dark „Mare Moscoviense“ is, among others, also visible.

However 10 years later the Americans succeeded to win the footrace. On July 21, 1969 at 3.56 o’clock CET, Neil Armstrong left the lunar module Apollo 11 and set foot on our next orb with the words „That‘s one small step for man, … one… giant leap for mankind! “

New space coins

Kazakhstan is making a new series of space coins, in 2006 they made the first one from this "space series" and till 2010 every year there will be a new coin.(see also the paragraph about coin news)
