Leslie writes: I have a coin designed by Karen Worth, made by the Medallic Art Company of New York. The name of the coin is “man’s first lunar landing”. Can you tell me anything about this or direct me to whom might know. Thank you for your time, Leslie
The Medallic Art Company is a private organization that strikes bas relief medals by commissioned sculptors for hire as well as for their own account. They have been in existence since 1903. The Lunar Landing medal is one of their own creations. You can often find Medallic Art medals in exonumia auctions where modern medals similar to this one usually sell for between $35 and $50.
Other Medallic Art Co. creations:
1939 New York Worlds Fair coin
Eisenhower inaugural medal
Marshall Islands coins
