The iconic Saturn V is getting its numismatic due.
rocket ever brought to operational status and remains the only launch vehicle to carry humans beyond low Earth orbit," the mint's statement read.for the innovation coin series. In response, the mint's artists worked with liaisons and experts to develop 11 candidate designs, each focusing on the Saturn V, which stood as tall as a 36-story building and, at launch, generated more power than 85 Hoover Dams.
The CFA's preferred design focuses on the F-1 rocket engines at the tail end of a Saturn V. The inscription"SATURN V," in a typeface inspired by"They suggested showing the engine smoke as billowing along the edge of the composition for greater visual effect, as seen in alternatives no. 1 and no. 6, with adjustment to the vertical inscription 'United States of America' as needed," Luebke wrote.
Design 1 was one of the two candidates that was preferred by Ivey. The second, Design 2, shows the first stage of a launching Saturn V separating from the rest of the vehicle with the moon in the distance."SATURN V" appears next to the rocket. The CCAC did suggest, however, adding the"SATURN V" inscription in the same logotype font as included on other candidate designs.
