The 1 oz .999 Fine Copper Franklin Round pays tribute to a classic chapter of American coinage while offering an affordable and tangible way to own a full ounce of pure copper. Inspired by the beloved Franklin Half Dollar design, this round blends historical artistry with modern bullion appeal. It serves equally well as a collectible for enthusiasts of vintage U.S. motifs and as a practical addition for those diversifying into base metal bullion.

Key Features:

• Purity and Weight: 1 AVDP oz of .999 fine copper

• Metal Type: Copper

• Obverse Design: Portrait of Benjamin Franklin with dual dates 1948–1963

• Reverse Design: Heraldic eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows

The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Benjamin Franklin, one of America’s most influential Founding Fathers. His likeness is rendered with careful attention to facial contours and period styling, reflecting the dignified realism associated with mid-20th-century U.S. coin design. The inscription “LIBERTY” arcs above, while “IN GOD WE TRUST” curves below the bust. The dual date “1948–1963” references the original production years of the Franklin Half Dollar, anchoring this round in a specific era of American numismatic history.

The reverse showcases a powerful American eagle, wings spread wide, clutching both an olive branch and arrows. This symbol of strength and vigilance reflects the United States’ balance between peace and defense. Above the eagle appear the inscriptions “COPPER .999 FINE USA”, while the lower rim declares the weight as “ONE A.V.D.P. OUNCE.” Together, the imagery highlights patriotic symbolism in a way that honors traditional American coinage.

Struck in one avoirdupois ounce of .999 fine copper, this round typically measures approximately 39 mm in diameter, offering a substantial presence in hand. Its warm, reddish luster enhances the sculpted details of both Franklin’s portrait and the eagle’s featherwork. Unlike government-issued currency, this piece is a privately minted round and carries no face value, focusing instead on metal content and collectible appeal.

The round’s combination of historic design elements and high-purity copper distinguishes it from generic bullion pieces. It provides an accessible entry point for new collectors while appealing to seasoned numismatists who appreciate reinterpretations of classic American coin art. Pieces are generally delivered in protective plastic packaging to preserve their original finish.

The 1 oz .999 Fine Copper Franklin Round unites American history, symbolic design, and tangible metal value in a single striking piece. Whether you are expanding a copper bullion stack or adding a tribute to the Franklin series to your collection, this round offers lasting appeal at an approachable price point.
