Incuse Indian 1 oz Copper

Incuse Indian 1 oz Copper is a medal inspired by one of the most distinctive designs in American coinage—the 1908 gold five‑dollar piece. The original was distinguished by a rarely used recessed relief (incuse), which gave the coin a unique appearance and set it apart from the standard issues of the era. The version made from 1 ounce of .999 fine copper lets collectors enjoy the iconic design in a striking, accessible form.

The motif of the Indian shown in profile is among the most recognizable icons of American numismatics. It is accompanied by elements of national symbolism that emphasize the strength, pride, and history of the United States. The characteristic incuse lends the medal definition, making the details look exceptionally elegant in the copper finish.
