1 oz Copper Round - Trade Dollar

---

This one avoirdupois ounce copper round honors a significant chapter in American coining history. Its design is inspired by the original United States Mint Trade Dollar, a silver coin struck between 1873 and 1885. That historic coin was specifically created to compete with other international silver coinage circulating in East Asia, serving as a tool for global commerce. While the original pieces were silver, this modern round is struck in one AVDP ounce of 0.999 fine copper. The obverse presents a detailed rendition of the classic Trade Silver Dollar design. Because this is a privately minted round rather than official government coinage, it carries no face value. The reverse of the round displays a patriotic motif featuring a central American shield flanked by eagle wings, set against the backdrop of the American flag. This detailed design is framed by a rope-style border. Clear inscriptions on the reverse confirm the metal content and purity, displaying "USA", "COPPER 0.999 FINE", and "ONE AVDP OUNCE".
