The cryptocurrency market was created in 2009 with the release of Bitcoin, a form of virtual currency that is still the dominant force in the market some 13 years after its first release. Though the market is awash in various forms of cryptocurrency today, each with wildly varying values, the first so-called altcoin released was Litecoin. Today, 1 oz Copper Litecoin Crypto Commemorative Rounds are available to you online at Silver.com.
Round Highlights:
- Available to ship to you inside protective flips, plastic tubes of 20, or boxes of 500 rounds!
- Celebrates the history of Litecoin!
- Consists of One AVDP ounce of .999 fine copper.
- On the obverse is the symbol and logo for Litecoin.
- The reverse features the Crypto Commemorative series design.
Litecoin is very similar to many of the original forms of cryptocurrency. When it was released in October 2011, it was a spinoff of Bitcoin and is identical in a number of ways. Though the two are extremely similar, there are some important differences. Perhaps the most important is the processing time to confirm transactions. While it takes 10 minutes to confirm a Bitcoin transaction, Litecoin can process a block every 2.5 minutes, making it four times faster than Bitcoin from a processing standpoint.
All of these 1 oz Copper Litecoin Crypto Commemorative Rounds are available to you for purchase as a new product from the mint. These rounds come with protective flips for individual specimens, plastic tubes for multiples of 20 rounds, and boxes for multiples of 500 rounds. The box can hold a total of 25 separate tubes of 20 rounds each.
On the obverse side of Copper Litecoin Crypto Commemorative Rounds is an image of the Litecoin logo. The Litecoin visual shown here is both its trading symbol and its logo. Like many forms of fiat currency, Litecoin is identified by a single capital letter with a dash through it. In this case, Litecoin uses a capital L with an angled dash through the long arm of the L.
The reverse field of 1 oz Copper Litecoin Crypto Commemorative Rounds features a common design element used across a range of commemorative cryptocurrency-themed round releases. This design was first created in 2011 by MJB for a Bitcoin-themed release and has featured on a wide range of gold, silver, and copper rounds since that time.
