Don’t Tread On Me – “Live Free or Die” – ½ AVDP Ounce .999 Fine Copper Round | Patriotic / Militaria Series
Description:
Don’t tread on me.
Few phrases in American history carry the same unmistakable message of independence and defiance. Originating during the American Revolution and immortalized by the iconic rattlesnake emblem, the motto has long symbolized vigilance, liberty, and the willingness to defend freedom against tyranny.
This ½ AVDP ounce .999 fine copper round features the legendary American rattlesnake, coiled and alert — a historic symbol of resistance adopted by early American patriots. Surrounding the central design are stars representing unity and resolve, while the bold inscription “DON’T TREAD ON ME” reinforces the timeless warning first issued during the nation’s fight for independence.
Beneath the design appears the powerful phrase “LIVE FREE OR DIE,” a declaration of unwavering commitment to liberty that has echoed throughout American history. Together, these elements capture the enduring spirit of those who believe freedom must be protected, defended, and preserved.
The reverse features the Intaglio Mint common design — a bold, precision-engraved “IM” monogram surrounded by concentric detailing and the inscriptions “HALF OUNCE AVDP,” “.999 FINE COPPER,” and “INTAGLIOCOPPER.COM.” This unified reverse anchors the Patriotic / Militaria Series with a consistent, recognizable identity across releases.
Struck in high relief on a 39mm copper blank, this round blends historic symbolism with the refined craftsmanship collectors expect from Intaglio Mint, creating a powerful tribute to the enduring ideals of American liberty.
