2026 Stars of Crime – Al Capone 5 oz Copper Bar
The 2026 Stars of Crime – Al Capone 5 oz Copper Bar brings one of the most infamous figures of American organized-crime history to a substantial modern collectible. Struck from 5 oz of .999 fine copper, the rectangular bar features Al Capone in a dramatic period-inspired design tied to the world of Prohibition-era Chicago.
Al Capone became one of the most recognizable names of the 1920s and early 1930s as organized crime expanded during Prohibition. His public image became closely associated with bootlegging, Chicago gangland violence, and the era's underground nightlife. In 1934, Capone was transferred to Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in San Francisco Bay, one of the most famous prisons in American history. Alcatraz became legendary for its severe isolation, harsh security, and reputation as a place from which escape was considered nearly impossible. Capone remained there until 1939, making his connection to Alcatraz another major part of the story surrounding one of America's most notorious criminals.
The larger 5 oz format gives the design considerably more visual presence and weight than a typical 1 oz copper round. Its combination of historical subject matter, substantial size, and limited production gives it crossover appeal for collectors of Americana, crime history, and unusual modern copper issues.
Production is limited to only 999 pieces worldwide. Each bar is struck from .999 fine copper and comes in a protective capsule with a Certificate of Authenticity.
