Die-cut medals give designers a shape to work with rather than a circle to work inside. The Modern Wisdom Owl 1 oz Colorized Copper Medal is cut to the full outline of an owl, ear tufts included, and holds one avoirdupois ounce of .999 fine copper. Production runs are limited to 5,000 pieces, with that figure struck into the medal itself. Copper keeps the entry price low while the shape and finish carry the appeal.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: One avoirdupois ounce of .999 fine copper
- Metal Type: Copper, colorized on the front
- Obverse Design: Mechanical owl in silver and charcoal panels with faceted blue eyes
- Reverse Design: Polished field stamped 1 oz AVDP, .999 fine copper, and LIMITED To 5000
The front presents an owl rebuilt as a machine. Its head is assembled from angular armor plates in bright silver and dark graphite, with two pointed ear tufts rising at the top and a sharp beak set between them. Two large faceted blue gemstone eyes dominate the face, cut with visible facets that flash as the medal turns. The body below is layered in overlapping plates suggesting folded wings, with cyan accent panels glowing along the seams and vents. The chest and lower feathers taper down to a point, each plate edged in a lighter tone that separates it from the next.
The reverse is left as a plain polished face with a bright mirror finish and a raised outline tracing the owl’s silhouette. Four lines are impressed across the center: 1 oz AVDP, .999 fine copper, then LIMITED and To 5000. Keeping this side clean lets the die-cut shape read clearly on its own.
Because the medal is die-cut rather than round, it will not fit standard coin tubes or capsules. The ear tufts and lower point are narrow, so handle it by the body. Colorization is applied to the front face only.
A capped mintage, an unusual silhouette, and an owl that trades classical symbolism for something futuristic make this a piece that stands out on a shelf. Add the Modern Wisdom Owl 1 oz Colorized Copper Medal to your cart today.
