When President John F. Kennedy declared in September 1962 that the United States would "choose to go to the Moon," his words ignited a generation and united a nation. More than a race for space, it was a call to courage, scientific discovery and shared purpose. NASA rose to embody that vision, proving what could be achieved when ingenuity and idealism worked hand in hand. Now, with this collection of 24K gold-plated challenge coins, you can hold powerful tributes to America's Golden Age of Space Exploration during our nation's 250th anniversary. Introducing The New Frontier Challenge Coin Collection, available exclusively from The Bradford Exchange. This collection begins with Issue One, The New Frontier, followed by Issue Two, Space Shuttle Program. Soon your collection will continue with Issue Three, your next challenge coin, followed by Issue Four, a Custom Display Case, and additional collectible American space race challenge coins, each a separate issue to follow.‡

Masterfully crafted of solid metal, each 24K gold-plated coin in this collection features raised-relief sculpted detail and hand-applied enameling to honor a defining era in NASA's story, reflecting the innovation, courage and teamwork that shaped the American spirit. The front of every coin displays iconic imagery; Issue One, The New Frontier features a portrait of JFK, his inspiring quote, "FOR THE EYES OF THE WORLD NOW LOOK INTO SPACE, TO THE MOON AND TO THE PLANETS BEYOND…", along with the Saturn V rocket, the lunar landing and more. The backs of each coin feature imagery commemorating milestones of the American space program, from Apollo to Artemis and into the future, along with the inscriptions "THE NEW FRONTIER FOR ALL MANKIND" and "COMMEMORATIVE CHALLENGE COIN".
