2017 Lealana 0.5 Monero (XMR). Loaded. Serial No. 23. Blue Address. Brass. MS-69 (ICG).

Loaded with 0.5 XMR (Monero). An impressive and scarce example from this underappreciated Lealana series from a mintage of only 150 coins. The Monero cryptocurrency was created in April 2014 by a fork in the Bytecoin currency. It was originally called BitMonero but the name was quickly simplified by the community. While still utilizing decentralized ledger, Monero is engineered to offer an increased level of privacy and anonymity compared to more transparent currencies like bitcoin. Today, Monero (XMR) has the third largest developer community among cryptocurrencies behind only Bitcoin and Ethereum. While most recognized for their bitcoin and litecoin series, Lealana began issuing coins in the Monero cryptocurrency beginning in 2016. These brass 0.5 XMR coins were released in 2017 as part of 4 coins sets including a brass 0.5 XMR, a nickel plated 0.5 XMR, a brass 1 XMR, and a nickel plated 1 XMR. In total, only 150 coins of each type were released, making these incredibly scarce compared to other entries in the Lealana series.
