Scorpion – ½ AVDP Ounce .999 Fine Copper Round
A Symbol of Power, Precision, and Relentless Defense
Feared and respected throughout history, the scorpion has long symbolized strength, protection, and the ability to strike with precision when threatened. Across ancient cultures—from the deserts of the Middle East to the legends of Greece and Rome—the scorpion represents vigilance, resilience, and the power to defend what matters most.
This ½ AVDP ounce .999 fine copper round from Intaglio Mint features a striking scorpion rendered in bold, highly detailed relief. Its armored body, poised claws, and raised stinger capture the creature’s unmistakable stance—ready, alert, and formidable.
The design emphasizes the scorpion’s natural symmetry and intricate structure, from the segmented tail to the articulated legs, creating a powerful visual that conveys both movement and controlled aggression. The result is a design that feels alive with tension and readiness.
Struck in pure .999 fine copper, the warm tones of the metal highlight the depth of engraving and fine detailing, allowing every segment and contour of the scorpion to stand out with exceptional clarity.
The reverse features the Intaglio Mint common design, showcasing the precision-engraved “IM” monogram surrounded by concentric detailing and the inscriptions “HALF OUNCE AVDP,” “.999 FINE COPPER,” and “INTAGLIOCOPPER.COM.” This unified reverse provides a consistent and recognizable identity across Intaglio Mint releases.
Struck on a 39mm copper blank, this round combines striking imagery with the craftsmanship collectors have come to expect from Intaglio Mint.
