Molon Labe One AVDP Ounce Copper Round $130
This striking Molon Labe One AVDP Ounce Copper Round features a detailed and patriotic design that combines traditional numismatic elements with modern Second Amendment imagery. Struck in .999 fine copper, the reverse showcases two crossed rifles set against a vibrant American flag shield, framed by a laurel wreath and the iconic Greek phrase Molon Labe, which translates to come and take them. The textured black background makes the copper and colorized elements pop, while the rim is inscribed with the weight and purity specifications surrounded by a series of stars. This specific round is housed in a clear protective flip labeled with the number 0089, ensuring its finish remains in excellent condition. As a collectible item, it serves as a bold statement piece for history enthusiasts and bullion investors alike, representing a unique blend of metallic value and symbolic heritage.
Condition: The item appears to be in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, showing high-relief details and original luster with no significant wear visible, though it is currently stored in a plastic protective flip. The mint is a private domestic mint, as is common for bullion rounds of this nature. The metal content is .999 fine copper, as explicitly stated on the rim of the round. The historical context refers to the ancient Greek phrase Molon Labe, meaning come and take them, famously attributed to King Leonidas I of Sparta during the Battle of Thermopylae; it is used here alongside modern imagery of a crossed rifle and musket against an American flag background to represent Second Amendment rights. The strike type is a standard business strike with a textured, frosted field and polished raised elements. The round is ungraded and remains in raw bullion condition.
