2015 Denarium "Dove" 0.01 Bitcoin. Loaded. Firstbits 19TKrGRU. Serial No. L02447. Satin Finish Brass. MS-66 (PCGS). Loaded with 0.01 BTC. A very special example of this elusive type with frosty satiny luster bathed in vivid olive gold coloration throughout. It ranks as one of only six examples of the type graded by PCGS and just two of those are ranked higher. The Denarium coins were heavily inspired by the Casascius series, featuring similar hologram stickers and overall dimensions. Elias Ahonen notes that the dove imagery featured on the obverse of this type symbolizes the "unparalleled financial freedom" that Bitcoin provides. Through close study of this series, we have discovered two distinct finishes featured on this issue including a more satin texture used on the lower serial number range, like the present piece, and a more glossy texture used on the higher serial numbers. This certainly deserves closer analysis, but it nonetheless hints at the interesting varieties waiting to be discovered within this new numismatic category.
