Description

Redeemed 2020 Alpen Coin 0.0005 Bitcoin. Serial No. 143. Matt Finish. Gilt Alloy. MS-66 (ICG).
Redeemed and non-loaded. Just 200 were struck, making it among the scarcest issues of the modern physical crypto era. The obverse is graced by a high-relief and intricate depiction of the Matterhorn, perhaps the most famous peak in the Swiss Alps. A similar design is feature on the reverse hologram of the 0.001 BTC by Alpen, though it truly shines here in this larger format and in three dimensions. The reverse hologram here features a subtle graphic of the Edelweiss, Switzerland's national flower which is found throughout the Alps. Close inspection will reveals that the central florets on this graphics are actually small Bitcoin current symbols. Due to the redeemed nature of this specimen, the details on the hologram are somewhat obscured. We also note that the ICG label incorrectly identifies the original denomination as 0.005 BTC instead of 0.0005 BTC. Public Address: 1pSubbfyw9jwJquhqvKwBCk5HMBr9s84w
