I thought about it more and I think you should play off the theme of the series 1 chips where you highlight the price, and instead of a specific date put a milestone event. So unlike my previous comments a specific milestone rather than a period of time might make more sense. Examples include (mining of the genesis block, launch of Silk Road, first bitcoin transaction (pizza day), etc...). This would eliminate the need for any graphics and would be a fun way to track the price similar to series 1.
Thematic Series: “Eras of Bitcoin”
Create chips themed around different key eras or turning points in Bitcoin history as someone already mentioned:
Genesis (2009) – Satoshi’s original vision
Pizza Day (2010) – First real-world transaction
Mt. Gox Era (2013–2014) – The rise and fall
SegWit & Forks (2017) – BCH split and scalability changes
Institutional Era (2020–2021) – Tesla, MicroStrategy, ETFs
Ordinals Era (2023) – NFTs & inscriptions on BTC
Bitcoin treasuries countries/corporations (2024) -
Hope this helps and look forward to the watching this evolve as you start the process.

This is an interesting idea! I am curious if you had any visualization thoughts to share... The only challenge is there is not a lot of room on the chip for graphics, and while they are pretty good, it might be hard to get too much on them, here is a close up:
