This coin was designed by Mike Bruce and produced and distributed by a
third party mint on a profit-sharing agreement. The round has a circuit board
theme, emphasizing the technological aspect of Bitcoin. The design originated
from an artistic drawing and is referred to as an ‘Art Round’ by Mr Bruce. The
coin and its design has become an extremely popular ‘image’ for Bitcoin
and is used as the primary photo in countless news articles and even some
books related to Bitcoin. These coins have been the subject of copying by
Chinese manufacturers and subsequent wholesale. These (authentic) coins are
pure copper, whereas the Chinese copies are silver, gold, or copper clad iron coins.
