Description

2020 Alpen Coin 0.0005 Bitcoin. Loaded. Serial No. 036. Brilliant Finish. Gilt Alloy. MS-68 (PCGS).
Loaded with 0.0005 BTC. It is a formidable condition rarity within an already low mintage issue. This coin sits at the top of the PCGS Population Report with none finer. 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. Public Address: 1Lmpa3vvxD9CBE2rq64usyPGpHjLAwy8j.
PCGS# 921859.
PCGS Population: 2; none finer.
