    Not a picture but the entire coin is the moon. Each side of the coin represents one half of the moon. Since the coin has two sides, the entire moon is on the coin. I picked this up at the rock, gem, mineral and fossil show that I went to two weeks ago.
    The only problem is I can’t tell the obverse from the reverse. LOL It was overpriced in my opinion but it was one of those things I just had to have. The images on the coin are an supposed to be an exact match to the moon.

    Well, it's sure not a very clear map of the Moon - not sure what they were shooting for with all those little bumps - but I see Tycho and Copernicus craters on the second image, so I'm guessing they consider that the "obverse". And it's oriented upside-down, at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. ;)

    I just wouldn’t know that. I had to add extra light for the top photo as that side is a little darker than the other.
