I was given an Apollo 11 medal recently and I've been looking for details about it online. I've been able to find medals with the same images/engravings, but not on the same coin. This collector's website is the closest I found.

Here are images of front and back of the medallion I have.

The side with the eagle looks like it is from the "Galaxy Mint Apollo Medal Set 1" but the other side is not the rocket with Project Apollo on it. The other side looks similar to "Galaxy Medals Set 4" but with some differences (most notably the detail of Earth).

Can anyone shed further light on this?
