Hello Crypto community!

I am pleased to present you with what I have been working on during the past months, something quite unique, in an effort to push the crypto collectible world even further.

Let me introduce the “holy” trinity:

An extra limited edition of 10 sets consisting on three different coins loaded with three different crypto currencies. All depicting extremely endangered species of the Iberian peninsula.

1. Bitcoin, the biggest of them all, and the scarcest. Minted in 35mm 1Troy Oz .999 Fine gold. Funded with 0.1 BTC. It is represented by the Iberian lynx. Why this animal? Its population is of only 483 in the Iberian peninsula. A unique animal really endangered by mankind (most are killed in roads) More info:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberian_lynx




2. Litecoin, considered like silver to BTC. With 4 times more coins, minted in 39mm 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine silver coin. Funded with 0.1 LTC. On the face of it, the Imperial Iberian Eagle with 282 couples left. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_imperial_eagle



3. Ethereum, the coin with the highest emission of the set and with a huge growth potential. 39mm 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine silver coin.  Funded with 0.1 ETH. Represented by the Iberian Wolf, with 2800 specimens remaining. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberian_wolf



Here it is one of the first drafts of two of the coins, for testing animal appearance. Final design nearly finished.


Here is a more developed version of the Gold coin.


But this is not all, the coins come enclosed in a CNC made, custom case for display. Manufactured entirely of aluminum, sandblasted and anodized. Decorated with real wood and protected by a methacrylate cover. All secured with space grade titanium bolts and laser etched inscription. Here you can see the plans for it.




And in order to show “the real thing”, if you have been following Crypto Imperator’s releases, with the Moon coin there was a special auction for coin numbered #38.44 as it was going to have a surprise. So here is the final product delivered to the customer (Sorry for the potato quality pics):



After this presentation, I can say that coin designs are nearly finished, plans for the display case are ready and only production remains. As we are taking about a considerable amount of gold, silver and tooling, I am offering the product for sale before its completed.

Moreover 5% of the proceeds of each sale will be donated to three foundations dedicated exclusively to the protection of these marvelous animals.


As a summary, you get:

1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Gold 0.1 BTC Coin
1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver 0.1 ETH Coin
1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver 0.1 LTC Coin
1 Exclusive aluminum and wood display case for the coins.
Donation to three foundations responsible for the preservation of endangered species.

I will not attempt to make a project so big and complex in the foreseeable future, so this is a 10 pieces only creatiom.


Total price, including insured shipping anywhere is: 6,146.37$

I need a minimum of 50% deposit beforehand, and 50% before shipping.
Funding is mandatory and will be calculated separately for the BTC, ETH and LTC is included in the price.

Current list:

#1 - Canary
#2 - vizique
#3 - Fattcatt
#4 - Minerjones
#5 - ClearSky8

Looking real good!  :o

Looking very nice indeed.  Nice to see an update.

Oh what a very special collectable set
This has so much going for it, collectability, craftsmanship, uniqueness
and a donation to a worthwhile cause but out of my budget.
I wish everyone involved success and enjoyment.
Looking forward to more pics!

CNC Milled aluminium, sandblasted and anodized.

Now that's craftsmanship  ;D  Looks like this set will be one of the highest ranking, in terms of quality. Nice.  :)

Updates!

Laser cut acrylic covers have arrived. (They have a protective plastic in the pics, once removed its cristal clear)

The first gold coins arrive on the second week of January, so I expect to start shipping in February.

What is holding back the project is wood layer manufacture, as I want to use a quite special type of wood. Coming from aged olive trees that looks like this:


And its being quite hard to be able to manufacture a 2mm layer out of it.

https://i.imgur.com/zXCAu47.jpg

That is a very attractive type of wood that you have there.  :)

Finally managed to get the right type and size of wood:

The only treatment it will receive is applying 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil:

These now go to be laser cut.

Gold arrives at the end of the week or next one as late!

Looks awesome!! btw, is #9 still available?

I believe that CI is keeping #9 for himself.  :P

Yes!

I would like to keep one :)

Updates!

Wood has ben laser cut!

It fits!

Hope you like it!

Uff, I think they look amazing. Great work!

When can we expect to take delivery of the coin set?  :)  Yes, spectacular looking wood work  ;)

In theory I receive the First Gold coin Friday-Monday thus first set should ship next week or the week after!

Finally!

Very nice !!!  :o

Fantastic - wish I could afford them all 😕

Oh very nice indeed!  8)

If by some chance, one of the sales falls through on this beautiful set (doubtful I'm sure), could you put me on the alternate list if there is one.

Alternate List:
#1 - av8rjeff
#2

 ::)

Noted!

Will do :)

as far as I know everything has been paid for already...
i dont see anyone asking for a refund.
however, I suppose it’s possible due to life  circumstances...
in that case, you should ask for any serial as the lower ones aren’t going to become available

CITM -  I think he's just starting a list of alternates and numbering them by each sign up.  so if 3 people signed up, he'd show them as #1, #2, #3.  Don't think he was gunning for serial #1.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks!

That's right Jackbauercsgo.  I was just saying if ANY became available...I like to be first one to be called. 

That said...I was mostly just trying to be funny as I doubt any will fall through as CanaryInTheMine said.  But one can hope  ;)

Aluminium is being currently engraved, first set ships probably late this week/early next.

The three coins look amazing together!

First the back....

Add a fine laser cut Olive Tree wood layer:

And finally protective methacrylate secured with Titanium bolts. (The foggy appearance is due to a protective film that should be removed once it arrives to the customer :) )
https://i.imgur.com/4cLPi57.jpg


I hope the wait has been worth it!

wow!

Really love them  :o :o

Well worth the time it took for sure :D

Sets are, one by one, now shipping!

The peeling of the protective film off of these is going to be so satisfying for the 10 new owners. That's usually the best part about buying a new phone or tv lol.

Wish I'd been around for these.  They look so good!

Lookie what showed up today!

Hey CI, when will you do another set like this for another charity? These were pricey, but for a very worthy cause...maybe this time the ASPCA here in America, or the Elephants. We all like good causes.  :)

PM sent

Sorry for not responding before, I am not visiting the forum much lately (trying to clear all backlog)

Each set was 6,146.37$, (Maybe you are adding the BTC funding) so donation was 5% of that amount (307,3185$), total = 3.073,185$

That equated to roughly 2700€ at the time.

I donated to three charities.

1. Iberian Lynx, the main charity protecting this animal is state funded and did not accept donations. I sent 700€ to WWF which is also helping on the protection of the species. https://www.wwf.es/nuestro_trabajo/especies_y_habitats/lince_iberico/

2. Imperial Iberian Eagle, 1000€ donated to a foundation centered on the protection and study of the eagle's and its habitat http://www.amigosaguilaimperial.org

3. Iberian Wolf, 1000€ donated to a foundation centered on preventing hunters from killing the wolfs to protect sheeps, cows... in rural areas as well as creating safe spots to observe the wolfs in nature. https://loboiberico.com/ascel/

I have the public addresses for the sets yes, I will be adding them to the archieve in CI website (https://cryptoimperator.com/coin-addresses/) with next batch.

All buyers got their addresses printed and set with the coins (I am in the works of releasing a "Digital" COA for each set) .

Agreed. I'd love to get my hands on a nice looking wolf coin.

Great question MJ.

And great answer CI. 

Thank you for sharing that with us.  I was so happy to be one of the fortunate ones to get a set that I forgot all about the inspiration and reason this project even existed.

Bravo!

If anyone is considering selling their set, please drop me a pm
