I've had this coin for ever. I can't find any other one like it. Help?

Does the holder its in say anything?

[SabrinaRenee]

I don't have the holder anymore, was a kid when I got it in 94

NASA sold tokens or medals similar to that for most if not all the Apollo missions. I bought one for the Apollo-Soyuz mission when I was at Canaveral as a kid. Stll have it somewhere

Best guess is that this was a commemorative token/medal sold by or at the Kennedy Space Center, it would have come in a plastic case with red liner and would have been packaged with a card. It was one of several designs to pick from in the souvenir shop, maybe. Edge should have a serial # on it. Seems to retail for under $50. Or at least that's what I'm seeing online.

Imagine if it was an actual Robbins medal, still very cool though.

It has a 828 and "half" a 5 on the rim

But I still can not find the dang thing😞

I almost bought one of those space flown silvers while back. The Apollo 11.  Love those.

Baller! Wouldn't mind checking out the Kennedy Space Center one day or the engine testing facility in Mississippi. Watch them fire one of those bad boys up for the new rocket.
