Capped Bust 1 ounce of copper
Capped Bust 1 oz Copper is a medal inspired by the classic American Lady Liberty design, which in the 19th century adorned the most important circulating denominations—from the half dime to the half dollar. The version struck from 1 ounce of .999 fine copper lets collectors enjoy one of the era’s most recognizable designs while offering an attractive, affordable way to acquire this iconic motif. This is an appealing choice for enthusiasts of historic minting and elegant, traditional aesthetics.
The Capped Bust style is firmly enshrined in numismatic history thanks to its harmonious composition and symbolism that harkens back to the beginnings of U.S. statehood. The deep relief in copper brings out the design’s delicate lines—especially Lady Liberty’s characteristic curly hair and the arrangement of stars referring to the thirteen original colonies. The medal makes a valuable addition to collections focused on reconstructions of classic American coins.
