50 Years of First Moon Landing - Set Mint - Set

Fifty years ago, on 21 July 1969, two astronauts walked on the moon for the first time in human history. Philately Liechtenstein is issuing the two commemorative stamps “Astronaut” (face value: CHF 1.80) and “Lunar Lander” (face value: CHF 2.00) to mark the anniversary. Designer René Wolfinger created the two stamp motifs in black and white and colour using collages consisting of image and graphic elements. Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins launched a Saturn V rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on 16 July 1969 as part of the Apollo 11 mission.
