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 ounces

Unlike traditional copper products, which are typically measured in avoirdupois ounces (AVDP), this round is struck in one troy ounce . This was not a technical decision—it was a philosophical one. Troy ounces belong to the world of precious metals. They represent value, tradition, and investment. By adopting this standard, we elevate copper beyond its industrial roots—placing it alongside silver and gold in both form and perception.

Design & Symbolism

The design carries both historical and forward-looking meaning:

• A visual language inspired by early Chronos releases
• The alchemical symbol for copper, integrated as a latent imaging security feature
• A Latin inscription:

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

Back to the Beginning

Chronos has always been about time—its passage, its cycles, its inevitability. With this release, we return to the beginning, not out of nostalgia, but with intent. To redefine copper. To expand access. To continue the story.

The coins are delivered in thermal plastic foil tubes packaging of 20/100/500 rounds, preserving the original mint condition and protecting the surface from oxidation.
