Washington & Independence – ½ AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | U.S. Historical Tribute Collection
Description:
Celebrate one of America’s earliest numismatic icons with this finely detailed ½ AVDP ounce .999 Fine Copper tribute to the classic Washington & Independence design of 1783. Struck by Intaglio Mint with exceptional clarity and warm copper luster, this piece honors both the artistry and revolutionary spirit that shaped the first years of the United States.
The obverse features a dignified neoclassical portrait of George Washington, laurel-crowned and facing left. Encircled by the inscription WASHINGTON & INDEPENDENCE, the design echoes patriotic tokens originally produced shortly after the Revolutionary War to commemorate Washington’s leadership and the formal recognition of American sovereignty. The date 1783 anchors the composition, marking the year the Treaty of Paris secured the young nation’s independence.
The reverse presents a seated allegorical figure of Liberty—poised and resolute—holding an olive branch in one hand and a staff topped with a liberty cap in the other. The inscription UNITED STATES arcs above her, while the purity and mint hallmark are engraved along the lower rim. Rendered in classical Intaglio style, every fold and flourish captures the elegance and symbolism of early American engraving.
