[INFO] Digital Mint & Vault 1 BTC coin

[minerjones]

It has been over 8.5 years and still no new information about these coins nor have I seen another one.

Has anyone else come across these yet?

Here is the link to an old "information" thread, yet nothing ever came about it.

the date - September 4th 476 was when the last emperor of Rome was disposed.

I have never heard or seen these coins. Do you have this coin?

and if the number on it "365" is akin to a SN that would mean there are at least 364 others

Well, I found a pic of another one, SN 391 but the X link to whoever posted it is dead.
According to the URL, was posted using the hashtag #hypc

MJ: Do you know any of these guys (see the link and the about us page for Digital Mint)?

After a little poking around, I think they issued the coins around the launch of their company, which was in 2014.

Will be interesting to find out more. In particular, why Trajan? Seems an odd choice as a commemorative used to launch your business.
There is a rumor (meaning this claim is unconfirmed) that not all the 1000 coins are Trajan (the original discussion on the forum mentions other designs).
There is a little bit written about the "The Good Emperors." Maybe this was the inspiration for this choice?!

Wikipedia "Machiavelli argued that these adopted emperors earned the respect of those around them through good governance:

Titus, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus, and Marcus had no need of praetorian cohorts, or of countless legions to guard them, but were defended by their own good lives, the good-will of their subjects, and the attachment of the senate.[7]

Edward Gibbon wrote in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire that their rule was a time when "the Roman Empire was governed by absolute power, under the guidance of wisdom and virtue".[8] Gibbon believed that these benevolent monarchs and their moderate policies were unusual and contrasted with their more tyrannical and oppressive successors."

I reached out to this company via phone message and email yesterday - have not heard back as of yet.

I do not... none of the people featured on that website are the person who I originally got the coin from.
From the emails I have it is possible the coins came from Florida or Texas, not Chicago where that company is located.

I did find this post on Quora.com that had the website link, but it is now dead and the internet archive does not have a saved page, so we don't even know what it looked like
It is from 10 years ago, so that fits that these came out in/around 2015
