First day cover stamps and medallion, paper / ink, made for the United States of America/Russia Apollo-Soyuz Space Mission, 1975

Pair of commemorative stamps and medallion mounted on imitation leather blue cardboard with plastic covered frames. The left stamp depicts an image of the shuttle with the moon and sun on a yellow background. The right stamp represents an enlarged image of the shuttle infront of the moon on a blue background. Both stamps have a black circular ink mark partially stamped on them. The medallion in the middle features text in a circular motion with the five astronaut crew members in the middle. The medallion can also be viewed through a circular plastic window on the back and it shows a shuttle in orbit. The cardboard also has stitching along the bottom which enables it to stand in a pyramidal form.
