Each of the 2 fine-silver coins are struck in a new minting technique called “Bi-Metal Reverse”, which combines 2 oz of silver as the base layer together with a top layer of 5.75 oz of copper. This results in a super ultra-high relief that is matched with an antiqued silver finishing after. This technique allows the coin to have an incredible weight and feel in the hand together with its size.
