Copper bars let collectors buy artwork rather than metal value, and this one commits fully to the concept. The Nightmare Steed carries 5 avoirdupois ounces of .999 copper in a square format, with a full-color obverse and a deeply sculpted relief reverse. Priced well below silver, it works as a display piece, a gift, or an entry point for anyone starting a themed collection.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 5 avdp oz of .999 copper
- Metal Type: Copper
- Obverse Design: Full-color flaming horse galloping through a starfield
- Reverse Design: Sculpted horse bust inside a circular sigil with a purple gemstone
The obverse is printed edge to edge in color. A black armored horse charges to the right, its mane and tail rendered as violet fire that streams backward in long curling tongues. Its eyes glow amber, and orange flames erupt from the ground where each hoof strikes. Behind the animal, a deep purple and blue nebula field is scattered with stars and distant galaxies, and a glowing ring of runic markings curves across the lower portion of the design. A thin copper border frames the whole scene.
The reverse drops the color and works entirely in raised copper. A horse bust faces left at the center, mane flowing back in flame-shaped locks, set inside a circular band inscribed with runes and ringed by stars. Four spearpoints radiate outward at the diagonals, and scrolled filigree fills each corner of the square. A faceted purple gemstone accent sits at the base of the sigil, wreathed in violet flame, the one spot of color carried onto this face. A banner near the bottom reads 5 AVDP OUNCES / .999 COPPER.
Note that copper is measured here in avoirdupois ounces rather than troy, which is standard for the metal. Copper naturally develops a warm patina over time; storing the bar in a capsule or sleeve slows that process and protects the printed obverse.
Fantasy-themed copper has a strong following, and detail at this level is uncommon at this price. Add the Nightmare Steed 5 oz Copper Bar to your cart today and browse the rest of our copper selection.
