Marking one of the most significant milestones in American history, this USA 250th Anniversary 5 oz Copper Round from Golden State Mint (GSM) delivers the series’ patriotic design in its largest copper format, giving stackers substantial weight in a single round commemorating the country’s 250 years of independence.
Key Features:
- Purity and weight: 5 avoirdupois oz of .999 fine copper
- Metal: Copper
- Obverse: A collage of American landmarks marking “250 YEARS”
- Reverse: An eagle gripping a flag-draped torch above the word “VIGILANCE”
The obverse brings together several of the nation’s most recognized symbols in a single composition. The Statue of Liberty stands at left with her torch raised, sunburst rays radiating behind her, while the Liberty Bell sits at center in front of the four presidents of Mount Rushmore and the dome of the U.S. Capitol rising at right. “250 YEARS” is struck boldly above the scene, with “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” arching across the top rim and the dates “1776-2026” along the bottom. The reverse centers on a bald eagle with wings spread wide, talons gripping a torch wrapped in a flowing American flag as it stands atop a fasces-style pillar. A banner across the base reads “VIGILANCE,” while “HONOR · COURAGE · INTEGRITY · PERSEVERANCE” frames the upper rim. The weight and purity, “5 OUNCES” and “.999 FINE COPPER,” are struck above the eagle, with the GSM mint mark and designer initials “TDR” near the base.
This round is produced by Golden State Mint, a longtime American manufacturer of silver, copper, and gold rounds and bars, and is struck specifically to mark the United States’ semiquincentennial.
