USA 1988 P Young Astronauts Liberty Commemorative Silver Medal, 6 troy ounces version

The reverse pictures an eagle on the top of stylized "A" surrounded by legend, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - YOUNG-ASTRONAUTS.

Turner catalogs the America in Space medals as #44, however, he makes no mention of the 76mm medals. According to the research of William Swoger, the America In Space medals were struck with three different obverse designs combined with a common reverse design. Gold medals, featuring a space shuttle flanked by 13 stars, were stuck in 76 and 23.5mm sizes; Silver medal featuring the astronaut on the moon, were struck in 76 and 38mm sizes. The 76mm medal was struck with a matte finish and came in two thickness; the smaller with a mintage of 1075 weighs 6 oz., while the larger weighs in at a massive 12 oz. and has a mintage of 3700. The bronze medal, featuring the space shuttle against a partial US flag, was struck only in a 38mm size in both matte and proof finishes.
