Description
Elusive Hal Finney Commemorative Squirrelbits 0.005 BTC in Stainless Steel
Just 21 Struck
2023 Squirrelbits "Hal Finney" 0.005 BTC. Loaded. Firstbits bc1qsat0shev. Serial No. 16. Stainless Steel. MS-69 (ICG).
Loaded with 0.005 BTC. An incredibly rare issue with only 21 struck, this is the very first coin from the Squirrelbits series we have had the pleasure of featuring in an auction. Produced in a seldom-seen stainless steel composition, this coin exhibits exceptional production quality and is captivating to review in-hand. Squirrelbits is considered by some to be the Banksy of the physical crypto category and their issues are generally low-mintage with topical or satirical design elements. This piece was struck to commemorate Hal Finney who was one of the early forefathers of Bitcoin. Besides Satoshi Nakamoto, Hal was the second person to run the Bitcoin software and his tweet "Running Bitcoin" on January 10, 2009 was the world's first introduction to this otherwise-niche currency.
