2016 Denarium "Silver Bull" 1 Bitcoin. Loaded. Firstbits 15SsMDp5. Serial No. L04033. Silver. MS-62 (PCGS).

Loaded with 1 BTC. An incredible treasure that represents the very first of the type we have featured and also the only example graded by PCGS. While the Denarium series is most well known for the smaller brass fractional coins released in 2015, is also boasts several formidable rarities in the 1 Bitcoin denomination. The present example, struck in 1oz 999 fine silver, features a maximum mintage of 250 coins and is seldom seen on the secondary market. This 1 Bitcoin issue was released in three distinct finishes including the present brilliant silver finish, a patinated or antiqued silver finish, and a gilt silver finish. In many ways, this issue serves as a reincarnation of the earlier silver 1 BTC coins from the Casascius and Lealana series which were also offered in a variety of finishes and are now considered to be "grails" of the classic period from 2011 through 2013. The current "Silver Bull" 1 Bitcoin picks up where these left off and should rightfully be considered to be a crowning jewel from the modern period of physical bitcoin. Also include with the coin is the original Wallet Card from Denarium that lists the coin details including public address and serial number. The Denarium series debuted in 2015 and was issued by the Finland-based company Prasos Oy. In 2020, Prasos changed its name to Coinmotion Oy and still offers a suite of cryptocurrency related services to both business and individuals. Their Denarium coins were heavily inspired by the Casascius series, featuring similar hologram stickers and overall dimensions. Elias Ahonen notes that the bull imagery featured on the obverse of many issues symbolizes "economic prosperity and the increasing value of financial instruments, which makes it a fitting image to place on an asset such as Bitcoin".
