1 oz Copper Bar - $500 US William McKinley Banknote

$500 US William McKinley Banknote Copper Bar 1 Ounce renders the U.S. $500 banknote of the 1928/1934 series—issued as a Federal Reserve Note—into an investment‑grade copper format. The obverse centers on the 25th U.S. President, William McKinley, whose portrait dominates the layout. Struck in .999 fine copper and weighing 1 AVDP ounce (28.349 g), the piece bears clearly marked specifications on the surface. Such high denominations primarily served interbank settlements before the widespread adoption of electronic transfers; printing ceased after 1945 and official withdrawal occurred in 1969. The $500 theme remains a classic emblem of American monetary history.

Obverse presents William McKinley’s portrait within an oval cartouche, large “500” numerals at left and right, the legends THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE above, and field elements typical of the note—seal, signatures, and numbering—rendered in decorative graphic form.

Reverse showcases a decorative composition with a central oval “500” and the inscriptions THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, enclosed by a rich frame with vegetal ornamentation characteristic of mid‑20th‑century $500 note design.
