Les Coyotes 1 ounce of copper

Les Coyotes 1 Ounce Copper is a medallion inspired by the culture of the Indigenous tribes of the Southwestern United States. The motif draws on the rich symbolism associated with the desert landscape, the animals inhabiting these regions, and the traditions of communities for whom harmony with nature was the foundation of daily life. The round, made of 1 ounce of .999 fine copper, underscores these values with a simple yet eloquent design.

Although the name of the medal issue refers to Los Coyotes, fauna plays a key role here as an important element of Indigenous tribal culture. Both the coyote and the bobcat appear in numerous legends, symbolizing cunning, courage, and independence. The medal combines these motifs into a coherent composition with a distinctive character, invoking the heritage of Indigenous communities and their bond with nature.

Obverse: Depicts two coyotes—one howling toward the moon, the other gazing at it. Above the scene is the inscription "LOS COYOTES," and below, "BAND OF INDIANS." The composition emphasizes the motif’s connection to the culture of the tribes inhabiting the desert regions of America.

Reverse: Shows a proud bobcat standing on a rocky boulder. Along the rim are the details of the metal fineness, year of issue, and weight of the round, presented in a clear, classic layout.
