Product Description:
MetalStacks is proud to present this 1 oz .999 Fine Copper Round depicting the Holy Family.

The reverse features a winged shield crest topped with a small nativity vignette, framed by a wreath of oak leaves and holly with a blank scroll banner below, "COPPER .999 FINE" arched above and "ONE AVDP OUNCE" along the bottom.

Design Details:
Obverse: The design renders Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus in the style of a traditional devotional icon. Mary is shown at lower left, head inclined toward the child cradled in her arms, a halo suggested behind her veiled head. Joseph stands just behind and to the right, taller in the frame, holding a long staff and wearing a halo of his own, his gaze directed down toward the child. The background is filled with fine linear beams suggesting the stable's timber roof and a field of small star-shaped ornamentation, giving the whole scene the quiet, formal stillness of classical religious iconography.
Reverse: The back centers on a winged shield-and-crest motif, with a small architectural nativity vignette — a stable framed by a star — set into the crest above the shield. Wings extend outward from the shield in a sunburst pattern, and the whole emblem is encircled by a wreath of oak leaves and holly sprigs, with a blank scroll banner draped beneath, left open for a date or inscription. "COPPER .999 FINE" arcs along the top rim and "ONE AVDP OUNCE" along the bottom, confirming purity and weight.
Historical Significance:
The Holy Family — Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus — is one of the most widely reproduced images in Christian art and devotional coinage, tracing its visual conventions back through centuries of Byzantine and Western iconography. Copper rounds built around nativity and Holy Family imagery are a longstanding staple in the collectible bullion market each holiday season, popular both as personal keepsakes and as gifts tied to Christmas, baptisms, and other family and religious occasions.
