This Apollo 10 commemorative coin is one of thirteen Apollo program commemorative coins displayed in a leather album. The Peoples National Bank of New Jersey commissioned The Franklin Mint to create seventy-five sets in total, and each of the Apollo program astronauts received one. The first coin commemorates the unmanned, suborbital SA-201 mission in February 1966, while the last commemorates the Apollo 12 mission. Apollo 10 flew from May 18-26, 1969, and was the second manned lunar orbit mission. Thomas Stafford, John Young, and Eugene Cernan were the astronauts. Apollo 11 in July 1969 was the first manned lunar landing, while Apollo 12 in November 1969 was the second. There were five more Apollo missions (Apollo 13 through 17), four of which successfully landed men on the moon.
