The 2018 1oz Steem Silver Round – A Community round Lllike no other

Among the many fascinating silver rounds created over the years, few can claim to be as unique and community-driven as the 2018 1oz Steem Silver Round. Designed by the Steemit community, this round stands as a testament to what a decentralised network of enthusiasts can achieve when they come together with a shared vision. Beyond its intrinsic silver value, it embodies the essence of collaboration, creativity, and the pioneering spirit of blockchain technology.

A Coin Inspired by the Steemit Community

For those unfamiliar, Steemit is a blockchain-based social media platform where users can earn cryptocurrency rewards in STEEM for creating and curating content. It’s a place where long-term commitment pays off, and where community-driven initiatives can take on a life of their own. The 2018 Steem Silver Round, affectionately known as the "Communi-Tree" round, is a shining example of this philosophy in action.

Designed by me, (@welshstacker), and made possible through the efforts of @sevinwilson and @raybrockman, the round was struck by the North American Mint and limited to a mintage of just 1,500 pieces. Each one comes in a protective capsule, is edge-numbered, and includes an individually numbered certificate of authenticity (COA), further reinforcing its status as a prized collector’s item.

Specifications and Craftsmanship

Struck in .999 fine silver, the round weighs exactly 1 troy ounce and has a diameter of 39mm. The edge is reeded and features an engraved COA number, making each piece distinct and traceable. The Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) finish ensures that every detail of the intricate design is captured beautifully, giving it a stunning aesthetic appeal that collectors and Steemit supporters alike can appreciate.

The Mystery of the Design – Can You Spot the Easter Eggs?

Beyond its symbolic representation of community, the 2018 Steem Silver Round holds a few secrets. Hidden within the design are Easter eggs—subtle details woven into the artwork that have yet to be fully deciphered. These hidden elements make the round more than just a piece of silver; they add an element of intrigue and challenge to those who take the time to study it closely.

Whether you are a seasoned stacker, a blockchain enthusiast, or someone who appreciates meaningful numismatic pieces, this round offers something special. It represents not just a digital revolution, but the power of community-driven projects and the impact they can have in the real world.

A Lasting Tribute to Decentralisation and Innovation

The 2018 1oz Steem Silver Round remains an important piece of Steemit history, reflecting the platform’s decentralised ideals and the creativity of its members. It’s a tangible link between the digital and physical world, a piece of precious metal that tells a story of collaboration, ingenuity, and perseverance.

For those lucky enough to own one, it’s more than just silver—it’s a symbol of what a united community can achieve. If you haven’t yet taken the time to examine its design in detail, perhaps now is the time to hunt for those hidden secrets. Have you spotted them all yet?
