### Introducing

# METROPOLIS Custom 1 oz Copper Bar For Sale

## The 1927 German Sci-Fi Phenomenon

### METROPOLIS - The film that changed history

Sometimes regarded as the most influential sci-fi movie of all time, Fritz Lang’s 1927 film *Metropolis* is a master class in German Expressionism through its depiction of a gloomy and dark futuristic society. For its time, the film’s special effects were beyond anything anybody had seen before as they created sharply angled skyscrapers, as well as jagged, endless industrial plants that are still cemented in, not just the minds of the filmmakers the film inspired, but every fan upon seeing it for the first time.

Beyond its cinematic legacy, *Metropolis, *tackles issues ahead of its time and, possibly, issues that may be more relevant today like the growing autonomy of artificial intelligence and an increase in division amongst classes.

### The Inspiration

The original movie poster from the 1927 film *Metropolis.*

In recognition of *Metropolis *entering the public domain, Osborne Mint’s new 1 AVDP .999 Copper Ingot is a replica of the, now historic, original movie poster for *Metropolis* featuring those same famed images from the film. In front of the towering structures and those harsh beams of light that fill the city, is the sculpted head of the film’s *Maschinenmensch, *or “machine-human” in English, which was one of the first fictional robots ever to be depicted in cinema.

This depth map was created from the poster. Its purpose is to show the depth ranges and how we'll layer the design in preparation for die cutting.

The 3rd version makes small changes to the robot's face and neck, moves in the light rays and opens up the top of the design.
