Hello everyone,
I am opening sales for The Reliquary, the inaugural release in my Relics of Custody series.
The Reliquary is a hand-cast, hand-finished 2 Troy oz .999 fine silver piece designed in a Gothic reliquary style. Each piece has been built as a Bitcoin wallet through Caribbean Treasures, whose physical Bitcoin and loaded wallet builds are already known in the collector space.
Each Reliquary is also stamped with the Caribbean Treasures maker’s mark, tying the wallet build directly to the physical piece.
All 21 pieces have already been cast, finished, stamped, and prepared as wallet pieces.
Each piece will be funded with 250,000 sats after the buyer receives the piece and confirms that it is safely in hand.
This funding method is being used as a precaution so that no funded physical Bitcoin piece is placed at risk in transit.

Relics of Custody record card
The record card will note the piece name, series, serial number, metal, weight, artist, wallet build, funding amount, and year. It is intended as a provenance record for the piece rather than a traditional third-party COA.
Wallet build / trust model
Each Reliquary is also stamped with the Caribbean Treasures wallet maker’s mark, tying the wallet build directly to the physical piece.
Caribbean Treasures has been involved with Bitcoin since 2012, has been making physical Bitcoin pieces for himself since 2014, and made his first custom piece in 2015. His experience with physical Bitcoin pieces is a major reason I chose to work with him for this release.
Keys are generated offline on an air-gapped computer by Caribbean Treasures. I do not handle or have access to the private keys.
The pieces will not be funded before shipment. Once the buyer receives the piece and confirms that it is safely in hand, that serial’s wallet will be funded with 250,000 sats.
Wallet details and public address information will be provided privately to the buyer. Funding confirmation and transaction information will also be provided once the wallet is funded.

If escrow is used, the exact process can be agreed upon with the escrow provider so that payment, delivery confirmation, and wallet funding are handled clearly.
