Front is blank I assume or does it have any kind of markings or design?

Would be very cool to have slightly higher denominations (50kbits or similar) with small 3, 5 or 10 g bars and a cool graphic design for a similarly affordable price-tag. Would be willing to take a bunch for sure.
With such super low denoms it feels like they are a cool gimmick but peeling and already spending maybe 10% of the sats just to create the transaction seems weird. Just my honest thoughts on the matter.
I love silver bars and generally am always happy to see creators come out with new funded bars!

For this specific piece, the front is the side with the hologram. Yes, the backside of the bar is blank. These were made from Industrial 999 silver strips for electrical applications. I said "Sure, thats great. Now lets turn them into physical bitcoins." Grin

They are still 999 silver.

CT pieces have many different denominations. Here is a picture of some laying around on the desk. They range from 1g - 2.5 oz silver and 1x gold. Only the 1 oz silver bar remains to be made. I prefer to use 2.5k, 5k, 10k, 20k, 50k and 100k Satoshi. Anything larger will get ridiculous over time and be like trying to sell a 1 bitcoin piece today. They is a point where they stop being enjoyable and because a burden. This was a lot more fun when the coins were worth a whole lot less and was about freedom and ending the fed. Now its how can I sell my $2,000,000 coin without getting robbed. lol

These pieces are more for survival and trading. Physical bitcoins are so you can trade physically, offline without permission. I just put it in your hand and I receive a meal or other service, face to face. Peeling is a last resort and added benefit to the trade unit. I think people make the mistake of only thinking about the Now. I think in longer terms or even millennia. I've been doing this a long time and have decided that the best physical bitcoin will be small low denomination on monetary metals. So except many.

We are only 4 halvings into a system of 32. We are blessed to live through this part of the transition, but most of the people that will live with blockchain haven't even been born yet. They will live to a block reward of minimal sats. See the chart below. in about 35 years they won't even receive 1 million sats for a block reward. Looks to be closer to only 600,000 Sats. That won't even be half way through the system. What do you think a sat will be worth at that time? Governments don't make $5,000, $10,000 and $100,000 bills for a reason. We don't have to repeat the same mistakes because we have history to learn from. So physical pieces made to last will be some of the most important pieces in the future. You could say i build for people of the future, not for the people of today. I'm okay with that. In the future it will be very valuable to transact freely and confidentially. Even BF pieces will be highly valued for this very reason. Make sure you get pieces with the address directly on the coin.

I always use Satoris as an example. They were released with only 0.001 btc and at the time they were $1 or less. I'm sure they were mocked too. Now they perform the best premium wise. Not by dollar values but percentage gains and this will persist into the future until singles are held by collectors. Collectors still own rolls. As prices rise they will be thinned.

Expect millions more in low denominations over the next decade.

Also.....bars are some of my favorite too. These new 1/2 oz bars are amazing. To bad they are proof though. They will leave fingerprints easily. For the last 1 oz piece, I'll make them matte so they can be handled without fear of damage. These small fractions don't pick up finger prints.
