We have included the New Liberty Mint Specie coin as it’s core message was to spread the word about bitcoin. While it does not hold any bitcoin itself it does have a QR code on it that takes you to the silver spot price checking website.

The Bitcoin Specie is made of 1 Troy Ounce (31.10 g) of 999 Fine Silver only, PLEASE NOTE No embedded Bitcoins are held on this coin. The 10 mBTC text on the coin represents the value of 1 Troy ounce of Silver at time of coin minting.

A note from the creator Joseph Vaughn Perling
