5 AVDP oz .999 Fine Copper Manta Ray Bullion Art Bar
This impressive 5 AVDP oz art bar is struck in .999 fine copper and features a highly detailed, numismatic-style design of a giant manta ray. The obverse showcases the creature gliding through stylized ocean waves alongside a deep-sea diver, framed by an ornate scrollwork border. The reverse side of this copper bar features a stunning, full-color artistic depiction of the manta ray in its natural underwater habitat, illuminated by beams of light filtering through the sea surface. This piece combines the industrial value of pure copper with high-quality artistry, making it a perfect addition for collectors of unique bullion and marine-themed art. The bar comes protected in a clear acrylic capsule to preserve its finish and intricate details.
5 AVDP oz .999 Fine Copper Manta Ray Colorized Art Bar
Condition: The item appears to be in brilliant uncirculated condition, housed in a protective clear acrylic capsule. The copper surfaces exhibit a natural luster with some minor toning or oxidation visible on the embossed side, which is common for copper bullion. The colorized reverse side features vibrant blues and purples in a detailed underwater scene, appearing well-preserved without visible chips or scratches to the artwork.
This 5 AVDP oz art bar is struck in .999 fine copper. It features a dual-sided design: one side is a high-relief embossed strike depicting a manta ray and a deep-sea diver with ornate scrollwork, while the other side features a full-color graphic overlay of a manta ray swimming through ocean ruins. This type of bar is a modern collectible bullion piece, often produced by private mints for the "art bar" market, combining industrial metal investment with aesthetic appeal. The strike is a standard bullion strike with a colorized application on the reverse. There is no official grading or specific mint mark visible on the piece.
