U.S. Quarter — 1 ounce of copper (Alternative, product-style: U.S. Quarter 1 oz Copper)

U.S. Quarter 1 Ounce Copper is a collectible copper medal issued as a tribute to the iconic United States quarter dollar. The medal is made of .999 fine copper, containing a nominal 1 avoirdupois (AVDP) ounce, which corresponds to approximately 28.35 g. The diameter is 39 mm, the thickness about 2 mm. The medal is struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard, with a mirror-like finish and a matte background that gives the issue a distinctive medallic aesthetic. The edge of the medal is smooth.

This issue is dedicated to the history of the Washington quarter, alternatively known as the quarter dollar, which is a U.S. coin with a face value of 25 cents. The first denomination was struck in 1796, and up to 1932 the design underwent systematic changes, representing different designers and patriotic symbols. The Washington quarter design, introduced in 1932 by sculptor John Flanagan to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth, remained virtually unchanged until 1998. Since 1999, each state of the Union has received its own unique reverse design, showcasing local symbols, historical figures, or landscape panoramas. The medal is part of a collection dedicated to numismatic treasures, appealing to collectors interested in the history of American coinage and to those seeking affordable alternatives for investing in metals.

Obverse of the medal features an image of the U.S. seal, consisting of a powerful bald eagle with outstretched wings, holding arrows in its talons symbolizing defensive strength and readiness. Around the entire obverse is the engraved text “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” among which stars are arranged. 

Reverse of the medal presents an artistically executed design of patriotic symbols, in particular the characteristic wings and the U.S. flag. Around the rim are inscriptions containing the medal’s technical parameters, including the nominal weight “ONE A.V.D.P. OUNCE” and the metal fineness “COPPER .999 FINE,” which serve as a certificate of authenticity and material value. Symbolic patriotic stars are added around the entire composition.
