Key Features:

• 1 Kilo .999 Fine Copper
• Don’t Tread On Me Design laser etched into cast bars

 

The obverse side of the bar has the classic Don’t Tread On Me Design first seen on a flag in 1775. The image is of a timber rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike. Below are the words ‘DON’T TREAD ON ME’. These bars are cast so they have a matte finish to them. 

 

The reverse side of the bar is kept intentionally blank. Any markings come from the molds.

 

The Don’t Tread on Me first appeared on a flag designed by politician Christopher Gadsden in 1775 during the American Revolution. He got the idea for using a rattlesnake from Benjamin Franklin when earlier in 1775 he published an essay where he suggested the rattlesnake would make a good symbol for the American spirit. Gadsden’s design is a timber rattlesnake against a yellow background and the words ‘DONT TREAD ON ME’. Later versions of the flag added an apostrophe in ‘don’t’. Some conservative groups have adopted the flag as their symbol as they think it speaks of smaller government or against government overreach. 

 

These bars make a great way to buy a quantity of copper but to demonstrate your patriotism or love of history. For some, these bars may be a form of expression and protest. The Don’t Tread on Me design definitely conjures up emotions and makes a statement. These make great gifts for family or friends. Be sure to get yours today.
