Al Capone King of Chicago Colorized 5 oz Copper Medal

The Al Capone King of Chicago Colorized 5 oz Copper Medal captures one of the most infamous figures in American criminal history in a substantial, highly visual collectible. Struck from 5 oz of .999 fine copper, the medal features a colorized portrait of Al Capone in his signature fedora with a cigar and Thompson submachine gun, framed by imagery inspired by the violence and mythology of Prohibition-era Chicago.
 
Alphonse “Al” Capone became one of the most notorious gangsters of the 1920s and early 1930s. His criminal empire was built largely around bootlegging, gambling, and other illegal enterprises during Prohibition, and his name became inseparable from Chicago organized crime. In 1934, Capone was transferred to Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in San Francisco Bay. Alcatraz became one of the most famous prisons in American history, known for its isolation, strict security, and reputation as a prison from which escape was considered nearly impossible.
 
The 5 oz format gives the artwork far more presence than a typical 1 oz round, making the piece especially well suited for display. Its combination of dramatic colorization, recognizable historical subject matter, substantial size, and limited production gives it strong crossover appeal for collectors of crime history, Americana, gangster memorabilia, and modern copper art.
 
Production is limited to only 1,899 pieces worldwide. Each medal contains 5 oz of .999 fine copper and is housed in a protective capsule.
