Description

Unfunded 2021 Lealana "Bitcoin Cent" 0.01 Bitcoin. Firstbits 1Jsiv5ha. Serial No. 102. Buyer Funded. Rainbow Design A. Nickel Brass. MS-67 (PCGS).

Unfunded and non-loaded. The current Superb Gem displays the Rainbow Design A, which features a Hawaiian-inspired "tribal" pattern across the central Bitcoin symbol. While prized as one of the most respected and desirable producers of the early era, newer collectors in this category never had the opportunity to acquire coins from the Lealana series first hand. With the release of these 2021 0.01 BTC pieces, Lealana introduced a new generation of collectors to their product line and also set a new bar for integrity among physical crypto producers. Just a single coin ranks higher at PCGS. This issue was released in brass and nickel-plated brass compositions which were paired with one of four separate holographic Rainbow finishes that were applied to the obverse. In total, 10 different varieties were released. While the non-Rainbow Brass and Nickel-Plated varieties carried mintages of 2,000 pieces, each of the Rainbow varieties featured a maximum mintage of 140 coins. The obverse displays a simplified version of the basic format used on it's early 2013-era silver coins. A Bitcoin symbol is prominent at the center with the date to the right and the denomination to the left. A holographic security sticker dominates the central reverse, while the very edge of the reverse reveals the coin's serial number and the full public address.

PCGS# 924203.
