Title: Hello collectors friends
Post by: Capparzo on July 22, 2021, 06:09:30 AM
Hey !!  :)
I am normally more hidden in the French section of the forum but I need the collectibles community to enlighten me.

A friend (bronze sculptor) of mine would like to sell a creation she made. It is a physical bitcoin coin in solid bronze.

On my side I would like to know if you have ever seen any sale of a solid bronze physical coin (with a diameter greater than 10 cm and a weight greater than 1KG)? I've searched google and the forum archives, I don't see any, which leaves me confused and makes me say that I'm not looking in the right way.

Do you have any links or memories about collectibles like that?

I dont think I have seen anything such as you are asking - but can you also share images of what your friend has made? pictures speak louder than words.

Here you go.



I like the idea with Fortuna, looking great.
Like Mopar, I cant really remember that coins with this dimensions were been sold on the forum here.
Might be interested in purchasing one of these coins. Are there other works from here that are related to bitcoin?

This is her only work related to bitcoin.
Work that is made in a single copy linked to an NFT Counterparty (https://xchain.io/asset/ISAESNULT.BTCFORTUNA).

Normally she does more statues.

You can see the rest of her work at the bottom of this site. (https://isabelle-esnult.vercel.app/)

I love the ancient + modern feel of this coin.

From the website: "Fortuna, mythological goddess, holding the horn of plenty: The allegory of Fortune derives from the Roman divinity Fortuna, goddess of luck and chance."

She's a beaut. Is your friend looking to auction or sell it outright?

 Can you place the item next to an item (example...US quarter) for size comparison

Thank you! :)
The piece will be auctioned.

Here is the original coin made of terracotta. (https://imgur.com/a/g8Y8zeG)
The bronze coin is still in the foundry, located in the Spanish Basque Country.

Next to it is a 2€ coin whose size (diameter) is 25.75 mm.
It is very similar (although a little bit bigger) to a US quarter, which measures 24.26 mm
