Velociraptor 1 ounce of copper

Velociraptor 1 Ounce Copper is a collector coin made of .999 fine copper, containing nominally 1 avoirdupois (AVDP) ounce, which corresponds to approximately 28.35 g. The medal has a diameter of 39 mm and a thickness of about 2 mm. The coin is struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard, which denotes the highest striking quality. The coin’s edge is smooth, characteristic of medallic issues intended for collectors.

The release refers to collectors’ fondness for prehistoric motifs and dinosaurs, and the Velociraptor is one of the most recognizable predators of the Cretaceous period. The name “Velociraptor” comes from Latin and means (velox = fast, raptor = predator). The Velociraptor reached lengths of up to 3 meters and used a long claw on its hind foot as a weapon. The release is part of a collection dedicated to lost worlds, appealing both to paleontology enthusiasts and to numismatists interested in imaginative medallic designs.

Obverse of the coin features a Velociraptor in profile, showing the predator’s characteristic attacking stance. The dinosaur is depicted with a raised front claw and open jaws, with tropical vegetation in the background. The composition conveys the dynamism and character of this animal, with clearly defined textures of the skin, muscles, and claws. In the upper portion of the obverse field, the inscription “VELOCIRAPTOR” appears.

Reverse of the coin is adorned with an image of the American bald eagle (Bald Eagle) with outstretched wings, a traditional element of the patriotic symbolism of the United States. The eagle is shown frontally with clearly rendered details. Beneath the image, inscriptions specify the medal’s parameters: “COPPER .999 FINE” (indicating metal purity) and “ONE A.V.D.P. OUNCE” (indicating the nominal unit weight).
