It functions in a similar way to the popular crypto coins by Casascius, Lealana and others, featuring an associated public address that can be loaded to a custom amount and a private key hidden behind a security seal that can be used to redeem the value. The private keys were generated by company founder Daniele Barbagallo, who is well respected within the crypto community.

In-hand inspection readily validates the superior production quality that these efforts have produced. Public Address: bc1qlvfemnncglt30k94n8m3g24f9xgprzvnq559rv.
