Description

Unfunded 2022 Polymerbit "White Giant" 1 Bitcoin Banknote. Firstbits bc1qwqkq. Serial No. 1B061. Choice Uncirculated 64 PPQ (PCGS).

Unfunded and non-loaded. An impressive and oversized rarity from the Polymerbit series. This type takes inspiration from the non-circulating 1 million pound notes issued by the Bank of England for internal accounting purposes. The U.S. Treasury issued a similar series of $100,000 gold certificates in 1934 for the same purpose. Applying this concept to cryptocurrency, Polymerbit used these "White Giant" notes to imagine a world in which "a single Bitcoin would be kept guarded in vaults by governments." Just 100 of these were printed but 10 were reportedly destroyed, leaving a net distribution of only 90 notes. They showcase the numerous security features and superior production quality associated with the Polymerbit series and rank as a true rarity within the physical crypto category.

PCGS# 1149517. NGC ID: 4JNV.
