Description

Unfunded 2016 Lealana "King Kam" 1 Bitcoin. Buyer-Funded. Firstbits 17ZmnKVS. Serial No. 38. Satin-Finish. Gilt Garments. 2oz .999 Fine Silver. MS-69 (PCGS).
Unfunded and non-loaded. The regular "King Kam" two-ounce issue was announced on the BitcoinTalk.org forum on September 13, 2016 at a price of 0.26 BTC plus an additional 1 BTC to fund the coin. These rare gilt and select gilt versions were announced later. With such a combination of rarity and artistry, it is difficult to overstate the desirability of these special "King Kam" two-ounce coins. Just a two coins are graded finer at PCGS, and a similar MS-69 example sold for $1,560 in our Spring 2023 sale. Though official titled "Sailing Into Uncharted Waters", this rare Lealana issue has earned the nickname of the "King Kam" for it's majestic and detailed depiction of the King Kamehameha I who ruled as King of the Hawaiian islands form 1795 to 1819. This theme was selected because Lealana is based in Hawaii and King Kamehameha remains a significant figure among Hawaiians today.
PCGS# 954019.
