Unfunded 2013 Lealana 25 Litecoin. Firstbits LdpM5hgr. Buyer Funded, Green Address, Non-Serialized. Silver. Proof-68 Deep Cameo (PCGS).
Unfunded and non-loaded. Described as "the rarest" and "perhaps the most coveted" coin of the Lealana series by researcher Elias Ahonen, this green-address 2013 Lealana 25 LTC is a truly significant offering. One of just 3 issued for the variety with BUYER FUNDED on the hologram, it is the largest Litecoin denomination produced by Lealana, which is based in Honolulu, Hawaii. This is one of only two certified by PCGS across all grades. A similar unfunded example sold for $2,280 in our June 2023 sale. This coin is also accompanied by 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. Issued on a 39 mm planchet of 1 ounce of .999 fine silver and minted by Northwest Territorial Mint, the obverse features the Litecoin symbol, date, and denomination while the reverse features a holographic sticker with the firstbits address visible near the center and the serial number above. Most remarkably, the binary code at the edge of the reverse spells out the Hawaiian phrase "IKAIKA I HELU NUI" that translates as "Strength in Numbers," which is echoed in Latin on the Casascius coin series as VIRES IN NUMERIS.
