Bitcoin 1oz Silver 999 Bullion - Commemorative Round




The Bitcoin, an alternative cryptocurrency, has recently taken the world by storm.  While the value of paper fiat currency falls around the world the Bitcoin has grown in popularity.  It has gained worldwide media recognition and has recently reached prices of $130 for 1 BTC.  The coin celebrates the spontaneous emergence of this alternative virtual medium of exchange by artistically marrying it to one of the oldest commodity currencies in written history: silver, thus giving it the almost tongue in cheek name: The ‘Bitcoin Coin’.  

The coin’s message, printed boldly around the Bitcoin currency symbol sums up this iconic new and old relationship:  “Commodity banks and cryptocurrencies will render central banks desolate- Free the currency, free the people”.

The Bitcoin Coin features the iconic Bitcoin currency symbol on its obverse. It is set on a background of a computer circuit board and boldly states the message “Commodity banks and crypto currencies will render central banks desolate- Free the currency, free the people”. An operational QR code decorates the reverse, in dual finish: the foreground is satin, and the background is mirror-finish. When scanned by a smart phone the code directs you to the M2 Factory Store. Give it a try!

Argyraspides 1oz Silver Round Bullion - 2013 Silver Bullet Silver Shield



The Argyraspides, so called because they used silver plated shields, were a division of the Macedonian Army under Alexander the Great. 

They were hand picked men commanded by Nicanor, son of Parmenion and were held in high regard by Alexander. Originally they were a type of soldier called Hypaspists or "shield bearers" They were made up of older men but they were one of Alexander the Great's most feared units. 
Regarding this coin, the coin creator Chris Duane says: 

"The short story behind it is that throughout all of history and 2/3 of the world today, 1/10 of an ounce of silver represents 1 days labor.  

Roman soldiers were paid a denarius for each day they served the Roman Legion. In Sun Tzu's the Art of War a 10,000 man army could be bought for a 1,000 ounces of silver a day.  And even 2/3 of the world today lives off of less than $2 a day. "

In multiples of 20 thee coins will ship in tubes.

Morgue Anne 1oz 999 Silver Zombucks Walker Round Bullion Coin

Morgue Anne



Why should you own Zombucks Walker rounds? Simple - it's the official currency of the apocalypse.
Fighting to survive and defending against infection are top priorities during a zombie invasion, but so is having a currency to buy goods and services. This round has a denomination of Z50, and the living will only accept Zombucks rounds as their trusted currency. Their value is sure to skyrocket if humans are able to survive the apocalypse and take back what was once theirs.internet
The 2017 Zombucks Walker pays homage to the Walking Liberty Half-Dollar (1916-1947) and the American Silver Eagle (1986-2013), which depicts a beautiful image of Walking Liberty striding forward with the sun on the horizon. The original Walking Liberty is also accompanied by stars and stripes while clutching laurel and oak branches. Adolf Weinman's design grasps the essence of what the U.S. Mint was looking for during the mid-1910's, which was patriotism, independence and liberty.
While there's nothing patriotic about being chased by the living dead and fighting evil to survive, it's the the reality of a zombie apocalypse. This silver Walker is a zombified Walking Liberty reaching ahead for a human. She is wrapped in torn and disheveled clothing with an ax in hand, surrounded by stars and stripes and walking in front of a mushroom cloud.
Each Zombucks Walker is composed of 1 oz of .999 fine silver. Along with the zombified Liberty, the inscriptions read "WALKER," "2017" and the denomination of "Z50." The heart of the reverse is a biohazard symbol to remind humans of the hazards of the apocalypse. It is inscribed with "ZOMBUCKS," "1 oz .999 FINE SILVER" and "CURRENCY OF THE APOCALYPSE," along with a Provident Metals compass logo.
Provident Mint began producing Zombucks limited mintage rounds to document the zombie period. In total, we will release 10 Zombucks rounds that pay tribute to historic coins or figures, with all 10 being offered in copper and silver.
Weinman's Walking Liberty design is said to be among the most beautiful U.S. coins ever designed. The Zombucks Walker celebrates that popular coin, but the zombified Walking Liberty is beautiful in its own right.
And if this is the last time you ever have an online connection, stay safe and never give up!
