$100 banknote 1 ounce of copper

The $100 Banknote 1 oz Copper medal is inspired by the iconic design of the American banknote of the same denomination, commonly associated with the portrait of Benjamin Franklin. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine copper, it attracts collectors with both its historical character and solid craftsmanship. Thanks to the strong recognition of the original, it makes an attractive addition to themed collections, especially those related to the iconography of U.S. currency.

The motif taken from the banknote introduced into circulation in 1929 has been reproduced with great attention to detail. The carefully executed relief highlights the key elements of the design, making the medal appear impressive despite being made of a base metal. An additional asset is the reference to one of the most important symbols of American history—the place where the statehood of the United States took shape.

Obverse: Centrally features a clear portrait of Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers and a key figure of the American Enlightenment. The image is a faithful rendition of the design known from the $100 banknote, preserving its characteristic details and graphic layout.

Reverse: Presents a carefully crafted reproduction of Independence Hall in Philadelphia—the site where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were adopted. The building is shown in the classic view known from the banknote’s reverse, with architectural detail rendered to emphasize the landmark’s historical significance.
