[Project Canceled] 'AN VERITAS, AN NIHIL' - Canceled.

[frankbitcoin]

This project has been canceled.  Unfortunately, we did not receive the amount of reservations we had hoped to receive within the first few days.  Thus, we will not be moving forward with the project.

Please do not send any payment.  If you have sent payment, you have been refunded.

*This coin is not loaded with any BTC or any other currency.  It has keys engraved so you can load it yourself, if you'd like.  The coin is empty.*

Hello everyone!

We are extremely excited to announce to you a project that has had us in discussion for several, several months now.  My wife, Nikki, spent numerous hours putting all of these ideas together to create what will be our very first coin.  Her goal was to bring to life an imagined piece that covers both philosophical elements as well as a glance at where we are today in the sense of government control, and the rights of the people.

This coin will be limited to x75.

The coin will contain both a public and private key engraved onto the back.  The keys will be generated by OGNASTY (thank you OG!).  The coin is being minted by the same incredible folks who work with Natty, so you can expect this to be similar in appearance to Natty's Samsara coin (thank you Natty!)


Inspiration:
We feel this coin transcends the message we were searching for - a broken and corrupt government that can be scattered to the wind and replaced with people who are self-governed.  Many fear that Anarchy is chaos.  In reality, it simply means no rulers, not no rules.    
 This coin features artwork that was originally created by Elihu Vedder in 1896.  The artwork is on display in the halls of the Library of Congress.

Featuring two pieces of art, 'Anarchy', and, mirrored, 'Corrupt Legislation.'  

The 'Corrupt Legislation' section of the coin reads, in Latin, 'An Veritas, An Nihil,' which translates to, 'The Truth, or Nothing.'

The 'Anarchy' section of the coin reads, in Latin, 'Non Ducor Duco', which translates to, 'I am not led, I lead.'

I do not have images of the hologram as of right now.  I can tell you what it will be, however! 

The hologram will be based off our company name, so it will be a newly drawn logo of a Lynx.  This will be the sideways face of a Lynx, with it's mouth open and roaring.

no picture as of now, check the thread in the coming weeks when I have that finalized.   

I will put you down for that, tentatively.  hologram will feature a Lynx with a roaring, open mouth (sideways shot), based off our company name.

Do these coins have a certain denomination of BTC that you can fund? Or do you just get an address and fund as much as you want?

Buyer funded; you can fund what you would like on the coins, if you'd like to fund them at all; it is not loaded nor designed for any specific denomination.  None of these coins will be offered funded by us.  They are empty.  But you can load as much or as little as you'd like to load.

Is there an error in op:

Back:  Back will contain a pre-affixed hologram as well as engraved public and private keys.

The private key is engraved on the coin under the hologram? Not visible I trust.

You are correct, the hologram will cover the private key.

Thank you, Sir!

Engraved pub AND priv key sounds awesome.
Not really feeling the design tbh, two artworks on one side seem a bit much. Cool message, though.
Definitly interested to see how the glass prints will look like.
