Description

Redeemed 2013 Lealana 5 Litecoin. Firstbits LbfG7D6S. Serial No. 3821. Buyer Funded, Green Address, Serialized. Silver. MS-64 (ICG).
Redeemed and non-loaded. Remarkable as the smallest silver denomination in the Lealana Litecoin series, this 5 LTC is both scarce and desirable. Issued on a 25 mm planchet of 1/4 ounce of .999 fine silver and minted by Northwest Territorial Mint, the obverse features the Litecoin symbol, date, and denomination while the reverse features a holographic sticker with the firstbits address visible near the center and the serial number above. Just 1,000 examples were issued in this Buyer Funded, Green Address format. Though dated-2013, many of these were sold in 2014 and later. Specialist Elias Ahonen points out that these are "similar to the Casascius 0.1 BTC coin released n the same year, both having virtually the same quantity of silver."
