These are Silver/Gold plated Medallions that were made by CALTECH-JPL Numismatic Society and the weights will very silently from 30-32grams, this Medallion is 30.9 grams. Originally Sold to JPL/NASA employees 1960-1971.

The Caltech-JPL Numismatic Society minted several 1oz Silver 24kGold layered Medallions commemorating the varies Space Missions from Pioneer/Ranger in the 1960’s through Mariners and Voyager 1978. No dates were stamped on the rounds at first, except for Explorer #1, as each coin was tied to a Mission with an unknown life expectancy. As Missions Tracking Procedures and Equipment reliability improved so did JPL\'s Numismatic Society confidence.

In the early 60’s and early 70’s the total mintage of each coin was very limited as they would only mint as much as the number of orders that were submitted by avid JPL/Contractor followers, often only a few hundred. Later as the popularity of the Rounds boomed the door was open to the general public and they were minted in the thousands. I personally purchased this Silver/Gold Medallion along with several others in 1968-1978. It shows some Rainbow Toning on Reverse.
