2022 Lealana "Bitcoin Cent" 0.01 Bitcoin. Loaded. Firstbits 1CtzByE2. Serial No. 124. Gold Plated Finish. 1/10oz .999 Fine Silver. MS-70 (ICG).
Loaded with 0.01 BTC. An important and flawless gold-plated speicmen that represents the very first of the type to appear to public auction. It is one of just 140 struck in total, only 70 of which were distributed as individual coins. The balance were offered as part of six-coin sets and are not likely to appear on the market in the near (or distant) future. Struck in 1/10oz of .999 fine silver, these pieces are likely the “world’s smallest loadable physical bitcoin” according to Smoothie, who is otherwise known as Noah Luis, the creator of the Lealana series. It measures 19.8 mm across, which is roughly half that of Lealan’s large silver 2013 1 BTC coin at 39mm. The obverse features a familiar layout seen on the early (Pre-2014) Lealana coinage including the bitcoin symbol at the center with a Hawaiian-inspired design in the background. Around the edge is the date, denominaton, and the Hawaiian phrase “IKAIKA I HELU NUI” which translates as “Strength in Numbers”. A holographic security sticker dominates the central reverse, while the very edge of the reverse reveals the coin’s serial number and the full public address. This piece is accompanied by a very special matched Certificate of Authenticity that outlines the coin info including the dimensions, public address, and serial number. Most remarkably, this special COA is hand-signed by Lealana series creator Noah Luis and features an authentication hologram sticker on the back. Less than 200 coins across all types and varieties of this issue were accompanied by signed COAs. Paired with these exceptional coins, they represent a tremendously desirable pairing and will serve as a crowning jewel in a specialized collection of physical crypto.
