It's a series 2, which is a rarer variety than the series 1.

50 or less of these coins were produced, and many of them were initially peeled (due to the private key issues). 

I believe the numismatic value is higher than .01BTC, and agree funding can't be trusted. 

I'd argue not to peel the coin because it will loose its numismatic value, and you may not ever be able to redeem the value.
