Rosa Americana Tribute – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Colonial Tribute Series
Description:
A distinguished homage to early American colonial coinage, this 1 AVDP ounce .999 fine copper round honors the historic Rosa Americana issues struck during the reign of King George II. Rich in detail and warm copper luster, this tribute captures the regal elegance and botanical symbolism that defined one of the most iconic colonial-era designs.
The obverse features a right-facing portrait of King George II, laureate and classically styled, encircled by the Latin legend GEORGIVS·D·G·MAG·BRI·FR·ET·HIB·REX — translating to “George, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland.” The sculpted curls, ribbon tie, and refined facial detail reflect the formal artistry characteristic of early 18th-century British coinage.
The reverse showcases the celebrated Rosa Americana design — a crowned Tudor rose in full bloom, symbolizing unity and English heritage in the American colonies. Surrounding the rose is the inscription ROSA·AMERICANA·1723, while the motto UTILE·DULCI (“The Useful with the Pleasant”) anchors the lower arc. Fine beaded borders and deeply engraved relief give the piece a bold, authentic colonial presence.
Struck in a full 39mm diameter, this copper tribute preserves the spirit of early American commerce while offering modern precision and striking clarity.
