2nd Amendment Original Minuteman 1 ounce of copper
The 2nd Amendment Original Minuteman 1 Ounce Copper is a medal commemorating one of the most important freedoms enshrined in the Constitution of the United States. Struck from 1 ounce of .999 fine copper, it combines strong patriotic symbolism with an appealing collectible form. The design is based on the classic image of a minuteman—a member of the colonial militia ready to defend his rights at a moment’s notice—which underscores the character of this issue and its ties to America’s tradition of independence.
The minuteman motif has long been an icon of determination and vigilance, and pairing it with the text of the Second Amendment strengthens the message of the entire design. The medal works well both as part of a collection devoted to constitutional symbols and as a keepsake for enthusiasts of U.S. history. Crisp relief, well-chosen inscriptions, and a classic layout give the medal an elegant, dignified appearance.
Obverse: Depicts a minuteman with a musket, shown in a decisive, confident pose. The dates 1789 and 2020 appear on the sides, and the whole is encircled by the inscriptions "SECOND AMENDMENT" and "RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS." The composition clearly highlights the reference to the historical roots of civil rights.
Reverse: At the top, an eagle in flight is shown above the ribbon "Amendment II." Below it is the full text of the Second Amendment, and the design is surrounded by a ring of thirteen stars symbolizing the original colonies. The design underscores the constitutional nature of the issue and its patriotic message.
