2014 Casascius "St. Petersburg Bowl" Bitcoin-Themed Silver Medal. 1oz .999 Fine Silver. MS-66 PL (ICG).

Unfunded and non-loaded. Struck in 1oz of .999 fine silver with selective gold plating, this piece is as visually impressive as it is significant. This elusive piece was issued to commemorate the historic college football game held on December 26, 2014 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. The game was sponsored by prominent cryptocurrency payment processor BitPay and it was officially promoted as the "Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl". During the game, the North Carolina State Wolfpack defeated the University of Central Florida Knights with a score of 34 to 27. Most significantly, an example of this very coin was used for the coin toss before the game's kickoff. Specialist Elias Ahonen points out that while 2,000 coins were struck, only 850 examples were distributed and the balance were melted. The obverse features a design very similar to the 2012 Casascius "Gold B" 10 Bitcoin with a gold-plated Bitcoin symbol at the centers and the date, composition, and the motto Vires In Numeris written around. The reverse showcases a sheild with a football graphic and BITCOIN ST. PETERSBERG BOWL written across. The background is decorated with binary code set against a reflective mirrored finish. This piece represents an irresistible opportunity for crypto specialists, football fans, Floridians, and a number of other enthusiasts.
