The Copper Age
The first tools made of metal
Copper was the first metal from which people made tools and weapons. At first they took native copper, as nature brings it forth in pure form, and hammered it into shape.
A copper pendant from the north of today’s Iraq is dated to about 8700 BC. It is estimated that copper was known as early as 7,000 years before tin; the time up to bronze is therefore also called the Copper Age.
Fire
Above 1,080 °C, copper turns liquid.
After hammering, people learned to melt copper and cast it in moulds. Egyptian sandstone furnaces and crucibles bear witness to this.
More than 5,300 years ago, Ötzi carried an axe with a blade of almost pure copper from southern Tuscany. It had been cast in a mould and, once cooled, compressed by hammering.
The name
The metal from Cyprus
- KýprosGreek: Cyprus
- aes cypriumLatin: metal from Cyprus
- cuprumLate Latin, hence Cu
- kupharOld High German, 9th century
- KupferGerman, since Middle High German
In antiquity Cyprus was a major supplier of the metal, as the Etymological Dictionary of German records.
More than 3,000 years ago, copper bars were already being made on Cyprus. One of them, weighing almost 37 kilograms and bearing an impressed mark, is now in the British Museum.
The colour
A metal with a colour of its own
Copper is one of the very few metals with a colour of its own. Pure copper is salmon red, as the German copper association describes it.
Hardly any metal conducts heat as well. And copper is dense: a cube measuring one centimetre along each edge weighs almost nine grams.
Time
The patina grows with the years
Exposed to the air, copper first takes on a dark brown to almost black layer, which on a roof is largely even after about two to three years. Over many years this usually becomes the green of old copper roofs.
This patina protects the metal beneath it, and it is not verdigris.
Patina makes copper more beautiful with age.
The piece
4 leaves and a ladybird
The motif side belongs to the four-leaf clover. Its leaves are strongly domed and gleam, and a ladybird sits on the lower right leaf. Above, GOOD LUCK runs in an arc, and small clovers and more ladybirds are scattered all around.
The value side carries the coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia: a sailing ship off the coast, the rising sun, a palm tree, a plough and a spade and a dove with a scroll. Above it, on a ribbon, runs the motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE, and around it stand the name, face value, weight and fineness.
With its face value the coin bar is a coin and legal tender in Liberia. It measures 120 x 72 x 15 mm and weighs 1,000 g.
The issuing country
Liberia lies on the west coast of Africa. The ship in its coat of arms stands for the ships that brought free and formerly enslaved people from the United States to this coast. The palm stands for prosperity, the rising sun for the birth of a nation, the plough and spade for the dignity of labour, the dove for peace. The coat of arms was adopted in 1847.

1 kg Copper Minted Bar "Good Luck" 2026: a kilogram of luck made from fine copper
A four-leaf clover with a small ladybird resting on it. That's all it takes to understand what this piece is about. The 1 kg Copper Minted Bar "Good Luck" from the Symbolism series combines two of the world's best-known symbols of luck with a full kilogram of fine copper at a fineness of 999/1,000. The result is a massive, Brilliant Uncirculated good luck charm that you can not only look at but also weigh in your hand.
The bar is issued with the year of issue 2026 by the Republic of Liberia, which gives it a face value of 10 Dollars. This makes it more than just a beautiful block of copper: it is an official coin in bar form.
The design: lucky clover and ladybird in sculpted relief
The obverse is devoted entirely to the large, four-leaf clover. Each leaf is highly polished and strongly domed, with fine leaf veins that appear almost lifelike. A finely crafted ladybird sits on the lower right leaf. In popular folklore, it is not without reason called the "lucky bug". Above it, the inscription GOOD LUCK appears in flowing capital letters.
Small clovers and additional ladybirds are scattered around the main design on a finely rippled background. Depending on the angle of light, this wave pattern plays with the warm, reddish glow of the copper. On a surface measuring 120 x 72 mm, the relief achieves an effect that smaller coins can hardly match.
The value side: Liberia's national coat of arms
The reverse shows the coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia, which has been used in its current form since 1847. It depicts a sailing ship before a rising sun, a palm tree, a plough and a shovel, as well as a white dove carrying a message. Above it is a banner bearing the motto "The Love of Liberty Brought Us Here". The inscriptions REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA, 10 DOLLARS, 1000 g, and 999/1000 FINE COPPER complete the design.
What makes a minted bar?
Bars that bear a coin die are called minted bars. At first glance, they look like ordinary bars: angular, compact, heavy. However, due to the face value stamped on them, they are classified as coins in Germany. In the issuing country, they are even considered legal tender because of their official face value.
Of course, no one takes this kilogram bar shopping. The face value of 10 Dollars is primarily a mark of quality. It identifies the piece as a state-authorized issue and distinguishes it from plain copper bars or copper medallions.
Minted bar, copper round, or cast copper bar?
Anyone wanting to buy a kilogram of copper will quickly come across cast kilogram bars from well-known manufacturers such as Heimerle + Meule or Germania Mint. A brief comparison helps with the decision:
- Cast copper bar: plain and rustic, usually featuring only a logo and weight marking. Ideal for anyone primarily interested in the material itself.
- Copper rounds: round copper medallions, minted especially in the USA in countless designs, but without a face value.
- "Good Luck" minted bar: struck rather than cast, with elaborate relief, an official face value, and a striking design. The first choice for collectors and as a gift.
The elaborate minting naturally carries its own value beyond the pure metal. Anyone looking for a plain mass-produced bar is better off with a cast bar. Anyone who values appearance, design, and coin status, however, will find exactly the right piece here.
Copper: the ideal entry point into the world of coins and bars
Copper is one of the oldest coinage metals of all. Small change has been minted from it since antiquity. Today, copper coins offer a huge variety of designs, ranging from animals to mythology to symbols of luck like this one. For newcomers, copper coins and copper bars are the best opportunity to get to know the feel and look of coins and bars. What does a kilogram of solid metal feel like? How does a relief appear in raking light? What matters when it comes to storage? All of this can be explored with copper in a relaxed way.
Most copper buyers, however, are classic collectors. They enjoy building up their own collection piece by piece and appreciate the thematic variety of this metal. The "Good Luck" minted bar fits perfectly into any collection centred on symbolism and good luck motifs.
A four-leaf clover is a rare find. This one comes by the kilogram, struck in pure copper.
A good luck charm that makes an impression
For a wedding, a birthday, passing an exam, or the turn of the year: a good luck charm made of solid copper is a gift that lasts. Copper has long been regarded as the metal of Venus and is a popular gift for the seventh wedding anniversary, the copper anniversary. The "Good Luck" bar comes in a case, making it ready to hand over as a gift straightaway. Shipping is carried out as insured shipping.
