History
Only four surviving copies of the original Metropolis movie poster by Heinz Schulz-Nuedamm exist today. One is housed in the prestigious Museum of Modern Art, another in the Austrian National Library Museum, and rumors swirl that Leonardo DiCaprio himself owns a copy. The fourth and final copy was sold at the LA auction to Ralph DeLuca for $1.2 million. Thanks to the film’s copyright expiration at the start of 2023, this captivating copper bar has become a reality.
Discover the rich history of the Osborne Mint, the oldest private mint in the United States, with roots dating back to 1835. From a time when President Andrew Jackson held office and legal tender banknotes were yet to circulate, Osborne Mint has been crafting exquisite gold, silver, and copper products, making them a trusted name in the industry.
