Retail trading culture got its own vocabulary in the last few years, and this round puts two of its best-known phrases into struck copper. Each piece carries 5 avoirdupois ounces of .999 fine copper, is worked in deep antiqued relief on both faces, and adds a single spot of color to the diamond. It sits at a price point where it works equally well as a desk piece, a gift for a trading buddy, or a themed collectible.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 5 avdp oz of .999 fine copper
- Metal Type: Copper
- Obverse Design: Two clenched fists gripping a colorized blue diamond beneath DIAMOND HANDS
- Reverse Design: Rocket launching past the moon with AD LUNAM ET ULTRA and TO THE MOON
The obverse is built around a pair of fists rising from the lower edge, knuckles and tendons cut in high relief with visible skin creases across each finger. Between them sits a brilliant-cut diamond in translucent blue, the one colorized element on the round, with every facet defined. Engraved rays burst outward behind the hands. DIAMOND HANDS arcs across the top between two stars, and 5 AVDP OZ .999 FINE COPPER runs along the bottom rim. The edge is reeded.
The reverse works entirely in antiqued copper. A classic finned rocket climbs diagonally across the field, porthole visible on the hull, exhaust and flame trailing behind it through a bank of clouds at lower left. A heavily cratered moon fills the background. AD LUNAM ET ULTRA curves along the top inside a raised ring, and a ribbon banner across the lower half reads TO THE MOON. The Cool Coin maker’s mark and a second logo sit near the base.
The Latin translates to “to the moon and beyond.” Copper is measured in avoirdupois ounces rather than troy, which is standard for the metal. The antique finish will darken naturally over time; a capsule slows that and protects the colorized diamond.
