FIJI: Republic, AR 5 dollar, 2017, Apollo 8 CSM-103 with colonized view of Earth, piedfort (piéfort) issue, mintage of only 250 coins, with COA and original case of issue, Proof. Apollo 8 was launched on December 21, 1968, and was the first manned Saturn V launch. The mission was the first manned mission beyond earth orbit and the first mission to the moon--and thus was of great historical importance. After two Earth orbits to check out spacecraft systems, the Saturn third stage boosted Apollo 8 (CSM 103) towards the moon. On December 24, Apollo 8 became the first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon. The spacecraft orbited the moon 10 times and then returned to Earth for a December 27 splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
