[SALE] The Reliquary: Hand-Cast 2 oz .999 Silver BTC Wallet

[Kannibal Hektor]

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.

The Reliquary 999 fine silver wallet piece
Custom 3D printed Sepulcher Case
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.

Additional services such as signature confirmation or additional insurance can be added at the buyer’s expense.

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.

Very cool looking piece, nice work guys!

[MoparMiningLLC]

any chance of a DIY version? I like the looks and style of the piece - nice to see something different for sure!

Thanks, I appreciate that.

For this release, all the plans were already locked in before launch, so The Reliquary will only be offered in its current wallet-built format.

That said, based on the feedback I’ve received, I will more than likely offer DIY/unfunded options with future releases. I can definitely understand the appeal for collectors who prefer to handle the wallet side themselves.

[CARIBBEAN_TREASURES]

It was great working with you and love your style! Some of the best looking fully funded silver art bars out there!

[raritycheck]

great work!

[Kannibal Hektor]

Some pieces have started to make it to the buyers hands. Confirmed and wallets funded.

I received mine - looks nice and has a nice heft due to being 2 oz that huge blank spot in the back is the only thing I dont like - I might use the laser and put something there - I dont really like the idea of making changes to someone's piece but that space is screaming to be used lol

nice work on the piece - it definetly is up to par with images I have seen of your work in the past.

Glad to hear it arrived safely, and thank you for the kind words.

I intentionally left the back clean so it wouldn’t compete with or take focus away from the front design. I also thought the open space could give buyers the option to add a personal engraving if they ever felt like making their piece more individual.

I’d be interested to see what you decide to do with it if you end up putting the laser to work.

edit - adding picture.

That’s a very fitting place for it. I’ve always seen skulls less as symbols of death itself and more as symbols of conquering death. Something enduring beyond what was supposed to be the end. With that in mind, having The Reliquary beneath Bitcoin Obituaries feels especially appropriate.

It does look like a tombstone! It would be a perfect place to engrave all the times bitcoin was said to have died.

I have heard that every day almost - would have to include every year - like the art piece has.

Yes, very true. I don't think a year has gone by without me hearing someone or some article stating that bitcoin is dead!  

Maybe one of our friends with a laser can make it happen. At least on one piece.

Did you end up engraving it? I'd be really interested in seeing it if/when you do.

oh yea, I did a while back forgot to upload a pic. here it is. my laser is very low wattage so its more of marking it vs engraving/cutting into the silver. Apologize for the delay in posting.

[Kannibal Hektor]

No worries at all. Thanks for remembering to post it. That came out really cool. I actually like that it’s more of a surface marking than a deep engraving. It works really well with the antiqued finish and doesn’t overpower the original bar. The crossed-out years almost look like a death register, which fits The Reliquary perfectly. Very cool seeing someone personalize one of these after it left my hands.

Great idea. Gotta love when somebody thinks outside the box and creates something unique. The 3d printed caskets really send it over the top. Congratulations. It is not very often that somebody innovates around here these days and this is a clear example of innovation and bringing something new to the table.
