This Apollo 3 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 3, also known as AS-202, was an August 1966 unmanned, suborbital launch vehicle development test and a test of the command module heatshield. 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.
