Bitcoin 2026, 1/2 ounce of silver, obverse
Bitcoin’s creator himself took gold as the comparison: in 2008 in the white paper, in 2010 on a forum. Here the Bitcoin sign stands on half an ounce of fine silver, in a mintage of 2,000 pieces.
On the obverse
Four words around the sign
In the centre stands the Bitcoin sign. The arc around it reads DECENTRALIZED • BITCOIN • DIGITAL • PEER TO PEER, below it stand the weight, the metal and BTC, the abbreviation of the unit in the Bitcoin software.
Bitcoin’s early texts use the same words. Satoshi Nakamoto called the system decentralised, with no server and no central authority, when he released the first software in January 2009.
Bitcoin’s white paper of 2008 describes an electronic coin as a chain of digital signatures. Peer-to-peer, from participant to participant, is already in its title.

The white paper, 2008
The comparison with gold miners
The Bitcoin white paper, announced on 31 October 2008, compares the steady addition of new coins with gold miners:
“… analogous to gold miners expending resources to add gold to circulation. In our case, it is CPU time and electricity that is expended.”
The same section explains why new coins come about this way: there is no central authority that issues them. The World Gold Council calls gold “no one’s liability”: it is not a promise that someone else has to keep.

A newspaper line in the first block
Bitcoin writes its entries into blocks that form a chain. The first block holds a line from a newspaper:
“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”
A forum post, 2010
As scarce as gold
On 27 August 2010, Satoshi Nakamoto posted a thought experiment on a forum, with gold as the measure of scarcity:
“As a thought experiment, imagine there was a base metal as scarce as gold …”
By “scarce” he only means a limited potential supply, as he explains in the post.
He had named the supply of Bitcoin in 2009: 21 million coins in total. The smallest unit is called a satoshi, one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.
The World Gold Council describes gold itself as scarce. The mintage of this piece is fixed: 2,000 pieces.
A medal in copper
Bullion, not bits
One medal in our range bears BULLION NOT BITS above a pair of scales. Bullion means gold or silver in bars, a bit is the smallest unit of information in a computer: bars, not bits.
Or, as we put it:
Crypto comes from the Greek kryptós, meaning hidden.
Also our own issue
Bull and Bear in gold
Outside the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the bull and the bear stand as bronze sculptures. On our issue both stand in gold, the bear on the side with the face value.

In both quoted passages, gold is the comparison: for the effort of the gold miners and for the measure of scarcity. This piece brings the sign into metal that you hold in your hand.

What happens when you cast the most iconic symbol of the digital revolution into one of humanity's oldest stores of value? You get this extraordinary 1/2 oz Silver Bitcoin 2026 – a piece that makes collectors' hearts beat faster. Here, two worlds merge that could hardly seem more different at first glance: the ephemeral world of cryptocurrencies and the tangible permanence of physical silver.
A design that fascinates and tells stories
Even at first glance at the obverse of this silver coin, it is clear: enormous attention to detail has gone into this piece. The central, raised Bitcoin "B" with its characteristic vertical strokes dominates the coin's surface. Surrounding it is an intricate circuit board design – traces, microchips, contact points and electronic components, so finely engraved that you feel as though you are holding a real computer board in your hands. The inscriptions "BITCOIN · DIGITAL · PEER TO PEER" and "DECENTRALIZED" underscore the philosophy behind the digital currency.
The reverse consistently continues the circuit design. In the centre sits another Bitcoin logo, framed by a stylised processor chip. Below it is the face value "10 DOLLARS", the inscription "REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA" and the Liberian coat of arms. The continuous circuit board pattern on both sides makes this coin a self-contained work of art.
Proof – Perfection in Silver
This coin was produced in the highest minting quality, Proof. What does that mean in practice? Each individual piece is struck multiple times using specially polished dies on mirror-polished blanks. The result is a breathtaking contrast between mirror-like surfaces and matte, velvety reliefs that gives the design an almost three-dimensional depth. The reeded edge completes the refined appearance. The coin is delivered safely protected in a coin capsule – ensuring the flawless surface is preserved for decades to come.
Only those who hold physical precious metal in their hands possess true value – independent of servers, passwords or power grids.
Extreme rarity: Only 2,000 pieces worldwide
What makes this coin particularly desirable for collectors is its strictly limited mintage of just 2,000 pieces. In the world of numismatics, such a mintage figure is considered exceptionally low. For comparison: popular bullion coins such as the Maple Leaf or the Vienna Philharmonic are produced in mintages of millions. Here we are talking about a genuine rarity that, once the edition is sold out, will in all likelihood be considerably harder to obtain on the secondary market.
The appreciation potential of such strictly limited mintages is well known among collectors. The lower the mintage, the greater the desirability – a principle that has proven itself in the world of coins for centuries. Of course, no one can guarantee future price developments, but the combination of the lowest possible quantity, a highly topical subject matter and first-class minting quality speaks for itself.
Silver – the underestimated store of value
With a fine weight of 15.55 grams in 999.9 fine silver, this coin combines aesthetic appeal with intrinsic material value. Silver has a millennia-old history as a monetary metal and continues to serve as a proven inflation hedge and crisis protection. Add to this the steadily growing industrial demand – from solar technology to electronics and medical technology. Limited supply meets rising usage. This makes silver an extremely interesting precious metal in the long term.
Good to know: profits from the sale of silver are generally tax-free, provided the holding period is at least one year. A further advantage for all those who think long-term.
