A guardian angel you can hold in your hand. This large-format collector's coin made of five ounces of fine copper (999/1,000) weighs in at 155.52 grams and measures an impressive 65.00 mm in diameter. The format alone is impressive. But what truly makes it special is its mintage of just 1,000 pieces – and the elegant Antique Finish, which makes each individual piece look like a find from centuries past.

Two angels, two sides, one thought: protection

On one side, a praying guardian angel gazes back at you. Depicted frontally, with lowered eyes and hands folded in front of the chest, framed by a halo. A delicate wreath of blossoms adorns the long, wavy hair, and an ornate belt with floral ornamentation cinches the flowing robe. Behind the figure, two mighty wings unfold, their feathers worked out down to the finest tips. Above it, in capital letters, is the inscription "5 OZ 999 FINE COPPER".

The other side continues the story. Here, an angel floats in motion across the coin's field – barefoot, arms slightly spread, the robe billowing in sweeping folds. To the side, the denomination and year of issue are set: "ONE DOLLAR 2026". A discreet emblem in the plumage of the left wing rounds off the composition.

The guardian angel is one of the oldest and most comforting symbols of all – a design that has always opened hearts, whether given as a gift for a baptism, a communion, or simply for a loved one.

Why the Antique Finish makes this design so striking

With the Antique Finish, the surface is specifically refined and artificially aged. The recesses appear darker, while the raised areas shine in the warm red-gold tone of the copper. This pays off particularly well with a design featuring so many feathers, curls, and folds of fabric. The relief gains depth, almost a three-dimensional quality. No two pieces are exactly alike, and that is precisely what collectors love about this finishing technique. A reeded edge running around the coin completes the classic coin character.

Proof or Antique Finish? A direct comparison

The Copper Guardian Angel 2026 is also available in Proof quality with a mintage of 2,500 pieces. Both variants have their own appeal but appeal to different types of collectors:

• Proof: Mirror-like shine and strong contrast between field and design – ideal for lovers of brilliant surfaces
• Antique Finish: Warm, nostalgic patina that emphasizes the relief and gives each piece an individual character
• Rarity: With 1,000 pieces, the Antique variant is significantly scarcer and therefore the more exclusive choice
• Handling: The patina is an intentional part of the finishing process; as with any high-quality coin, it is recommended to handle it only by the edge

If you'd like to collect this theme more broadly, you'll also find the angel design with us as a silver coin and in gold. Copper offers its own distinct advantage: you get an impressive five-ounce format with a 65-millimeter diameter that would cost many times more in silver or gold. This makes the joy of large, detail-rich coinage accessible to every collector.

Copper coins: A collecting field with endless designs

Hardly any metal offers such a diverse selection of designs as copper. Especially in the USA, numerous copper rounds and copper medallions are minted with the most varied themes – from mythology to history to spiritual depictions like this angel. For beginners, copper is the ideal opportunity to get familiar with the feel, weight, and appearance of coins and bars before possibly turning to precious metals such as silver or gold.

Most buyers of copper are classic collectors – people who enjoy growing their own collection piece by piece. For them, such a strictly limited rarity as this guardian angel is a real find. Once the limited edition is sold out, only the secondary market remains – and there, pieces from small mintages are, as experience shows, highly sought after.

And there's one more thing in favor of this collector's coin: it is more than just a collector's item. As a gift for a birth, a confirmation, or as a good-luck charm for a new chapter in life, it carries a message that needs no explanation.
