2016 BTC Series 2.3.1 – Node Bronze ‘AT’

These ‘AT’ (Artificially Toned) coins are a result of testing undertaken by Ravenbit. These chemical tests destroyed the patina of the bronze, leaving interesting metallic colors on the coins. Though it would be normal to dispose of such coins, Ravenbit demonstrated obvious creativity in naming them after planets (this idea was presumably derived from the …

2014 Nasty Mining 5 BTC Hybrid Casascius 2012 5 BTC

This coin is made from an empty Casascius 5 BTC coin, with a ‘Nasty Mining’ hologram added to the back. The public key is printed onto the hologram, and the coin is shipped unfunded. 20 were made and sold for 0.25 BTC each via the Bitcointalk.org forum. The slab it comes with has a QR …

2013 Microsoul 1 BTC PBC Coin

The first coin produced by Matthew, the 1BTC 2013 coin was created before the ‘Microsoul’ brand, and is thus quite different from his later designs. The coin itself is extremely generic and simple, inscribed only with ‘1 Bitcoin’ in raised gold letters. Of the 100 minted, 62 were funded and the remainder were sold as …

2013 Lealana 1 BTC 1 BTC Silver ‘Gold B’

This is the only Lealana coin with gold plating, and is perhaps the most visually interesting due to the stark contrast which highlights the ‘B’ and hologram. It is the same size and weight as the 0.5 BTC coin of the same series, but the ‘partial binary edge’ is replaced by a flat, smooth gold …

2013 Lealana 0.5 BTC 0.5 BTC Silver

While the front has no variance from the other coins in the series, the back presents something new. Instead of a full ‘binary edge’ as one might guess from first glance, it actually features a ‘partial binary edge’ (the first of its kind) around the hologram, while the rest of the coin is made up …

2013 Lealana 0.1 BTC 0.1 BTC Silver

Unlike its brass counterpart, the hologram on this coin features a silver ‘B’ as opposed to gold, giving a more pleasing color match for the all-silver coin. While the 25 LTC and 0.1 BTC brass coins very closely mimic certain Casascius coins, this coin is actually a direct counterpart to the 0.1 BTC coin made …

2013 10 LTC 10 LTC Silver

The first 1,000 of these coins did not include a private key ‘pit’ on the back side, and thus a small ‘bump’ can be discerned on the hologram surface because the small round piece of paper containing the private key is placed directly between the flat metal surface and sticker. These are popularly known as …

2013 0.1 BTC 0.1 BTC Brass

Like the 25 LTC coin, this is another example of a coin closely inspired by Casascius (which is only natural, as Casascius had been the only major manufacturer from which to draw inspiration). This coin is the perfect example of Lealana walking in the footsteps of Casascius by producing something extremely similar to the 2013 …
