Fighter Jet – P-51 Mustang, 1 ounce of copper

Fighter Jet – P-51 Mustang 1 Ounce Copper is a medal dedicated to one of the most important fighter aircraft of World War II. Struck from 1 ounce of .999 fine copper, it commemorates the legendary North American P-51 Mustang, which played a key role in breaking the Luftwaffe’s dominance and ensuring Allied air superiority over Europe. Its dynamic design and historical background make the round an attractive choice for military collectors and aviation enthusiasts.

The P-51 Mustang was developed in 1940 for the Lend-Lease program, and its first examples went to the RAF as the P-51 Mk I. Over time, especially in the P-51D version, the aircraft became one of the most effective escort and combat fighters of the era. The medal captures the spirit of those times, presenting the machine in flight against a backdrop of sun rays—a symbol of speed, superiority, and the symbolic “breaking through the clouds” of wartime reality.

Obverse: Depicts the P-51 Mustang in flight, with the characteristic USAF star on the fuselage. The sunburst background highlights its speed and legendary status, referencing iconic aviation portrayals from the World War II period.

Reverse: Presents the shared motif used in this series—the American heraldic shield flanked by an eagle’s wings and the U.S. flag waving above the composition. The layout is rendered in a classic, patriotic style, complemented by inscriptions indicating the weight and fineness of the metal.
