Intense reflectivity in the fields contrasts the rich and frosty luster across the devices. The present example represents a scare public offering of this 0.1 BTC rarity and we are confident that only very few survive in such exceptional condition. A similar MS-68 PL (ICG) example sold for $13,200 in our March 2023 sale. Just over 800 of this type were issued, though researcher Elias Ahonen points out that "these coins were sold in rolls of 20, meaning they ended up in relatively few hands." They also share the same hologram style as the silver Series 3 0.5 BTC. It was funded on October 2, 2013, at which point Bitcoin was valued at around $125. This was an exponential increase from the same date the year prior, when it was valued at $12.The obverse features the Bitcoin currency symbol at the center with the date, denomination, composition and motto surrounding. The devices are boldly rendered with a rich satin luster, starkly contrasting the mirrored reflectivity in the fields. A golden holographic sticker sits at the center with the Firstbits address visible through a rectangular window.
