Continental Currency Tribute – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Colonial Tribute Series
Description:
A powerful symbol of early American unity and independence, this 1 AVDP ounce .999 fine copper round honors the legendary 1776 Continental Currency design — one of the most iconic pieces of Revolutionary-era numismatics. Struck in full 39mm format with rich copper luster, this tribute captures both the historical gravity and intricate symbolism of the original issue.
The obverse features the classic sundial motif beneath radiant sunbeams, accompanied by the Latin word FUGIO (“I fly”) — a reference to the fleeting nature of time. Below the dial appears the phrase MIND YOUR BUSINESS, a timeless reminder of diligence and responsibility. Encircling the design is CONTINENTAL CURRENCY 1776, commemorating the birth year of American independence.
The reverse showcases the interlocking ring design representing the unity of the original colonies. At the center, the bold declaration WE ARE ONE reinforces the spirit of cooperation that defined the Revolutionary cause. Surrounding rings bear the names of the colonies, joined together in a continuous chain — a powerful visual statement of strength through unity. The Latin motto AMERICAN CONGRESS anchors the composition in historic authenticity.
Bold relief, fine beaded borders, and deeply engraved details give this piece an unmistakable colonial presence while maintaining modern striking precision.
