First silver bit coin? 1 oz gilded round 999 silver Bitcoin RARE only 200 minted

Description: 1 oz silver coin commemorating the introduction of Bitcoin. This is the rare gilded version of the original silver bitcoin. I'm not an expert on coins and it has taken me hours to find any information on this one. I bought it years ago, probably from EuropeanMint which seems to be the only place still having this in its catalogue. There are lots of similar coins which are either completely silver, or completely gilded, but this coin is .999 silver with ONLY the bitcoin logo gilded - and the reason it is so difficult to find information on these is that only 200 were minted. As such it is really really rare! The main picture shows the contrast between the silver and the gold but the detail is fuzzy. The remaining pictures show better detail but can't pick up the gilding - sorry - it's the best I can do. Words on the front are: Commodity banks and crypto currencies will render central banks desolate- Free the currency, free the people Here is what it says in the europeanmint catalogue and you can go to that site for clearer stock photos:The Bitcoin, an alternative cryptocurrency, has recently taken the world by storm. While the value of paper fiat currency falls around the world the Bitcoin has grown in popularity. It has gained worldwide media recognition and has recently reached very high prices. The coin celebrates the spontaneous emergence of this alternative virtual medium of exchange by artistically marrying it to one of the oldest commodity currencies in written history: silver, thus giving it the almost tongue in cheek name: The ‘Bitcoin Coin’. The coin’s message, printed boldly around the Bitcoin currency symbol sums up this iconic new and old relationship: “Commodity banks and cryptocurrencies will render central banks desolate- Free the currency, free the people”. The Bitcoin Coin features the iconic Bitcoin currency symbol on its obverse. It is set on a background of a computer circuit board and boldly states the message “Commodity banks and crypto currencies will render central banks desolate- Free the currency, free the people”. An operational QR code decorates the reverse, in dual finish: the foreground is satin, and the background is mirror-finish. When scanned by a smart phone the code directs you to the M2 Factory Store. This rare and unique coin comes encased in a clear acrylic protective capsule. Specifications Mintage: 200 only!
