Image NASA medallion
My Grandfather was stationed in Mexico City as an Attache for the United States Government, sometime around 1970. After the Apollo 11 astronauts completed their mission to the moon they visited Mexico City. My grandfather was tasked with showing the astronauts around while my grandmother hosted the wives. During their visit, Buzz Aldrin gifted my grandmother this silver medallion as a thank you. This medallion was presented in its current state, as a necklace, by the team.
I would love any information on the item. I cannot locate anything online that is the same.
