After the success of the v1 “Type 1” silver rounds, a second version was released in August, about a week before the Casascius coins came into existence. This coin is an aesthetic improvement to the first coin, in that the ‘B’ is clear and easily visible. Like its counterpart, it features a ‘binary theme’ of 1’s and 0’s, with the back side having an outer rim of 1’s and 0’s. This rim inspired the ‘binary ring’ feature in many physical Bitcoins, including Casascius, Lealana, and Cryptolator. It appears shinier when compared to the v1 coin. On the upper right, one has been converted to jewelry.
