25th Anniversary of 9/11 Copper Medal 1 AVDP Ounce

The 25th Anniversary of 9/11 copper medal commemorates the events of September 11, 2001. Its anniversary side combines the profile of an eagle with an outline of buildings and elements of the American flag. The inscriptions “25TH ANNIVERSARY” and “SEPTEMBER 11, 2001” frame the design.

Anniversary design and American symbolism

The composition refers to the memory of 9/11 through restrained, symbolic imagery. The other side shows a United States flag, outstretched wings, a shield, stars and a ribbon marked “USA”. “ONE AVDP OUNCE” appears near the lower edge.

One AVDP ounce of .999 fine copper

The medal is made of .999 fine copper. One avoirdupois ounce (AVDP) is approximately 28.35 g and differs from the troy ounce commonly used for precious-metal coins. The warm copper tone brings out the relief.

A commemorative medal for collectors

The 25th-anniversary theme gives this medal a commemorative character. It may complement a collection of historical medals and pieces relating to United States history. No official government-issue status is implied.
