Wanted to share the sculpt with you guys, orders will be open in a few weeks via a separate thread.

It’s absurd.

Bump for freezing the design.



No we just sit back and wait for the sickness.

We hope you love it!

Peace!

If the mint can reproduce all those fine circuit details shown in mockup in the struck coin this will be one of the most beautiful coins ever minted.

I think the circuits are going to be sacrificed unfortunately. I reviewed some previous works from this mint that tried to achieve a similar effect and it blended together. But that’s for a raised mold, what I’m arguing for now is that the circuits can be depressed or etched subtlety enough to catch the antique lacquer and achieve a similar effect.

However, when you put this on a “to sized” footprint, there is something captivating about removing the circuits and tweaking the frames of the images a little bit. And there is a valid argument that it’s too busy as submitted. In any regard, I will be updating this thread with the final changes if required and have photographs of the prototype before taking any orders😜

And To all, Thank you for all the kind words!

For complete transparency, I’m in discussions with the sculptor regarding the circuitry connecting the twelve links on the perimeter. When you put it on an actual sized mock-up projection,  it doesn’t look nearly as coherent as the digital design. I trust the first strike will be a balanced compromise between classically bold and new age inspired.

The prototype will be presented on the announcement thread before any orders are comitted🤗


Love the mock up but can a mint actually reproduce all that detail when striking a coin?

I am hopeful and believe it can be pulled off, esp with the technology and advances of today, considering the details of Morgan dollars that were produced in the 1800's.

It's getting a little too busy for my taste.  I liked the first one better.

I guess to each their own but this is a masterpiece!!!  The concept, artistry, originality, and intricacy are very bold statements and taking coins to new heights.  It's a daring, courageous, and time consuming effort that appears will exceed expectations- anxiously awaiting prototype.

Well done.   Probably the most intricate and well thought out coin I've seen in the Bitcoin space.

Can't wait to see the final product!

By contemplating on the twelve links, one gains greater insight into the workings of karma; this insight enables us to begin to unravel our habitual way of thinking and reacting.

The twelve causal links are:

1) Avidyā lack of knowledge – a blind person, often walking, or a person peering out
2) Saṃskāra constructive volitional activity – a potter shaping a vessel or vessels
3) Vijñāna consciousness – a man or a monkey grasping a fruit
4) Nāmarūpa name and form (constituent elements of mental and physical existence) – two men afloat in a boat
5) Ṣaḍāyatana six senses (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind) – a dwelling with six windows
6) Sparśa contact – lovers consorting, kissing, or entwined
7) Vedanā pain – an arrow to the eye
Cool Tṛṣṇa thirst – a drinker receiving drink
9) Upādāna grasping – a man or a monkey picking fruit
10) Bhava coming to be – a couple engaged in intercourse, a standing, leaping, or reflective person
11) Jāti being born – woman giving birth
12) Jarāmaraṇa old age and death – corpse being carried

So exciting! This coin will be mind-blowing.
I wonder what these numbers and characters might mean?
Any haXX0rs here to decipher?

In the totally unlikely case that this thing will not have enough buyers I'll even take a third coin. Will probably make for an amazing present.
Oh, lowest non-paired numbers would be nice, or something like #11 or #33. Just sayin... .-.
