Copper Cannabis 420 Leaf Medal, 1 oz.

An increasingly popular form of investment in precious metals in the form of a copper disc.

The association of cannabis with the number 420 has its roots in the culture and history of marijuana consumers. The most popular explanation involves a group of California teenagers known as "Waldos" who in the 1970s regularly met at 4:20 PM to search together for a supposedly abandoned marijuana plantation. Over time, "420" became their code word for cannabis-related meetings.

Later, the number was popularized by cannabis culture, particularly the media and musicians, and began to symbolize cannabis consumption. The reverse of the copper coin features an image of the distinctive 7-fingered cannabis leaf. The obverse, in turn, is the numerals 4, 2 and 0 inscribed in different quadrants separated by a cross. The lower one features an image of a hemp leaf similar to that on the reverse. The very top shows the stated copper content of the bullion, as well as the weight of the coin.
