Long before the price of Bitcoin surged in late 2017 and drew greater attention to crypto currencies, other forms of virtual currency began to emerge quickly after Bitcoin’s 2009 introduction. The first major alternative to release was Litecoin, which debuted in October 2011. Today, it is part of the Crypto Commemorative collection of rounds from Heads or Tales Coins and Collectibles. Right now, 1 oz Antique Crypto Commemorative Litecoin Silver Rounds are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.

Each of the 1 oz Antique Crypto Commemorative Litecoin Silver Rounds in this collection comes to you with a protective plastic capsule from Hotco and features a unique serial number. Those serial numbers are reflected on the Certificate of Authenticity included with your purchase. Each one of these releases is an antique version of 1 oz silver in this collection and come with a brushed, matte appearance for the finish.

Litecoin shares commonalities with other forms of crypto currency. For example, it is a peer-to-peer virtual currency released using open-source software with the creation and transfers of coins based in open-source cryptographic protocols. Litecoin and other versions of crypto currency are often referred to as altcoins, a general term applied to other virtual currencies beyond Bitcoin.

On the obverse side of the 1 oz Antique Crypto Commemorative Litecoin Silver Round is the symbol for this particular form of digital currency. The Litecoin symbol consists of simple capital “L” with a horizontal line struck through the long arm of the “L.” Litecoin went live as a virtual currency in October 2011 as a fork of Bitcoin Core client. The primary difference between the two is the decreased block generation time of 2.5 minutes for Litecoin. This compares to the block generation time of 10 minutes for Bitcoin.

The reverse of 1 oz Antique Crypto Commemorative Litecoin Silver Rounds includes a common design element featured through this collection from Hotco. Here, you’ll find a computer-coding themed design element that hints at the entirely virtual existence of all forms of crypto currency.
