Jefferson Nickel 1 ounce of copper
The Jefferson Nickel 1 oz Copper is a medal inspired by the classic 1938 five-cent design, depicting an early profile of Thomas Jefferson. Struck from 1 ounce of .999 fine copper and measuring 39 mm in diameter, it captures the spirit of American minting from the first half of the 20th century. It is a choice for collectors who value historical design and the timeless iconography of the USA, as well as for those looking to expand their collection with striking copper issues.
The design blends nostalgia with high-quality craftsmanship—the crisp relief highlights the distinctive features of the third President of the United States, while the modern reverse introduces a patriotic, dynamic aesthetic. The medal works well as part of an educational collection, as a gift, or as an affordable way to enrich a set with a classic American motif.
Obverse: Features a left-facing profile of Thomas Jefferson, modeled on the first issue from 1938. It is accompanied by the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST," "LIBERTY," and the date "1938," consistent with the original layout of the historic nickel.
Reverse: Depicts an eagle with outstretched wings, a shield on its chest, and a waving U.S. flag. The motif is encircled by a ring bearing the inscriptions "COPPER .999 FINE" and "ONE AVDP OUNCE," confirming the weight and purity of the metal.
