Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: Two 1 oz rounds, 2 troy ounces combined, in .999 fine copper
- Metal and Finish: Pure copper with a full-color metallic digital print
- Obverse Designs: A crowing fighting rooster on one round and a screaming golden eagle on the other
- Reverse Designs: Battle of Puebla scenes beneath the French tricolor and the Mexican flag
The first round’s obverse carries a fighting rooster caught mid-strike, its red comb raised and beak open in a crow. Deep green tail feathers arc over copper-orange hackles, and a wing of red scaled plumage flares against a dust-filled background where the blue, white, and red of a French flag fades into the haze. The companion round answers with a golden eagle descending, wings spread and yellow talons extended, its beak open in a scream. Behind it, the green, white, and red of the Mexican flag with its eagle-and-serpent crest breaks through the dust.
The reverses shift from symbolism to the battlefield. One shows a French infantryman in a blue coat and red kepi charging with a fixed bayonet, the tricolor whipping above ranks of soldiers in smoke. The other depicts a Mexican fighter in white with a sombrero, raising the national flag over a crowded melee. Together the four faces recall the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, when outnumbered Mexican troops turned back the French army, the victory Cinco de Mayo commemorates.
Each round is produced with a full-color metallic digital print that holds saturated color and fine linework across the copper surface. The pair ships sealed in a clear dual infinity capsule that joins both rounds in one protective holder for side-by-side display.
Copper keeps the cost low while the artwork carries the appeal, making this set an easy pick for seasonal gifting, themed collections, or a first colorized purchase. Order the Cinco de Mayo two-round set today.
