| Beschrijving keerzijde | A detailed engraving of the NASA Voyager 1 space probe dominates the central field, rendered with precise mechanical detail including its large high-gain parabolic dish antenna, extended boom arms, and bus structure. To the left, a large planetary body partially fills the field, while a ringed planet — Saturn — appears to the right in the middle ground. A sweeping orbital trajectory arc curves across the lower portion of the field. The curved legend above reads 'VOYAGER 1 · 1977', commemorating the spacecraft's launch year, and the denomination '50 VATU' is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vanuatu issued this piece as part of a broader wave of commemorative silver coinage that Pacific island nations adopted in the late 1980s and early 1990s — a revenue strategy made possible by licensing agreements with foreign minting houses rather than any domestic minting capacity. The Voyager 1 subject is purely commercial, timed loosely to ongoing public interest in the probe's interstellar trajectory rather than any specific mission anniversary in 1992.
Voyager 1 had by that point crossed the orbit of Pluto, already over a decade into a journey with no scheduled terminus.
