Chronos 2026 — Copper Launch

Chronos 2026 1 oz · Copper 999 · Bullion Round

A new chapter. A new metal.

Pressburg Mint’s first copper release — and a deliberate statement about where physical metals are headed.

For a decade, Chronos has measured time in silver.

Now it measures it in copper.

The Chronos 2026 Copper Round is not simply a new product. It is a position. A belief that copper is entering its investment era — that affordability, industrial necessity, and collectible design can exist in a single troy ounce of 999 fine metal.

This is where the Chronos story began. And this is where it begins again.

Copper – elevated

Most copper rounds are sold by the avoirdupois ounce — the industrial standard, the warehouse standard. We chose troy.

That choice was not technical. It was philosophical. Troy ounces belong to the world of precious metals. By striking the Chronos 2026 in one troy ounce, we place copper where we believe it belongs: alongside silver and gold, not in spite of its price, but because of its potential.

Ex cupro argentum, ex argento aurum. From copper comes silver. From silver comes gold.

Design

design and symbolism - the philosophy behind it

Design language

The Chronos 2026 Copper Round draws directly from the series’ earliest pilot designs — the rounds that existed before Chronos became a coin. The visual language is familiar to those who know the series. For new collectors, it is an introduction to where it all began.

Latent imaging

Embedded within the design is the alchemical symbol for copper — invisible at first glance, revealed only at the right angle. It serves both as an authentication feature and as a quiet nod to the metal’s ancient identity.

The inscription

Struck into the round is a Latin phrase that has guided the series from the beginning:

Ex cupro argentum, ex argento aurum From copper comes silver, from silver comes gold.

An acknowledgement of hierarchy — and an invitation to start at the beginning.

Why Copper?

Silver prices have never been higher. The barrier to holding physical metal has risen with them. Copper changes that equation. It is the metal that built the modern world — wiring cities, powering grids, conducting electricity across every continent. Demand for it is accelerating, not slowing. Electric vehicles, solar infrastructure, data centres, and defence systems all depend on it. Supply is tightening. Ore grades are declining. The gap between what the world needs and what the ground can provide is widening. This is not a niche collector's argument. This is the material reality of the next decade. We believe copper is the entry point for a new generation of people who want to hold physical assets — at a price that does not require a significant financial decision. Accessible. Tangible. Real.

"Copper is becoming the new silver — not as a replacement, but as the next frontier."

Chronos series context

part of a longer story

Chronos began here.

The Chronos series launched not as a coin, but as a round — a pilot piece that tested a design language that would go on to define a decade of releases. The 2026 Copper Round returns to that origin.

It is part of an ongoing series that has spanned silver in multiple finishes, proof-like surfaces, and now — for the first time — a new metal entirely. For collectors who have followed Chronos from the beginning, this is the round they have been waiting for. For those discovering it now, it is the perfect place to start.

The Chronos 2026 Copper Round marks a defining moment for Pressburg Mint—our very first release struck in copper, and a deliberate return to where it all began. Before Chronos became a coin series, it existed in its purest form—as a round. This release revisits that origin, drawing inspiration from the pilot designs that laid the foundation for everything that followed. It is a tribute not only to time itself, but to the evolution of our craft. Copper – The New Silver? In a market shaped by rising silver prices and increasing demand for tangible assets, we see copper entering a new era.Accessible. Industrial. Essential. And increasingly—collectible. The Chronos 2026 Copper Round is our statement: Copper is becoming the new silver. Not as a replacement, but as the next frontier—where affordability meets long-term potential, and where more people can participate in owning physical metal. A Deliberate Standard - AVDP vs. Troy
