Oh, do put a sock in it, dear reader, for Satori Coins-those dashing little baubles of 2016-are back in town like a rusty Rolls-Royce at a vintage car show. On Sept. 25, 2025, they’ll unveil their new “Gi” model, a lavish creation that makes a Casascius coin look like a pawn shop trinket. And if you’re lucky (or wealthy), you might just snag a lowly serial number #0001 from Scarce.city. The charity auctions began today, and the clock is ticking faster than a Hatter’s tea party.
A Hiatus as Brief as a Monsoon in London
Satori Coins, those audacious poker-chip analogs stuffed with fractional bitcoin, first waltzed onto the scene in 2016, only to vanish like a poorly timed quip at a dinner party. After the Casascius coins-crafted by the estimable Mike Caldwell from 2011 to 2013-retreated into the shadows, physical BTC became as common as a rainy day in Manchester. But now, with the return of Satori, one might say the crypto world is experiencing a case of the ennui-or perhaps a grand débacle with a side of glitter.
On Aug. 27, 2025, the Satori Coin X account announced with all the gravitas of a butler discovering a raccoon in the silverware drawer: “We’re happy to finally announce the public launch of Satori Coin Gi on September 25th! You’ll be able to safely and securely order our latest model: Satori Coin Gi, from our online shop.” Crafted with “machined aluminum, glass, and intricately designed foil and tamper-evident hologram seals,” it’s as if someone tried to make a coin that could outwit a safecracker and a toddler in a single afternoon.
The flagship “Gi” model is a love letter to Japanese craftsmanship, with a screw-top design that would make a Victorian tea caddy blush. Three holograms-yes, three!-guard the private key, including one on the edge, as if the coin were a Fabergé egg with a Bitcoin twist. Designed by Ise Katagami craftsman Hajime Ito, it’s secured by a 2-of-2 multisignature scheme. One might say it’s the crypto equivalent of a Fort Knox with a side of wasabi.
But hark! Before the masses descend, serial numbers #0001-#0010 are being auctioned on Scarce.city from Sept. 9 to 11, 2025, like the last slice of lemon meringue pie at a tea party. Each comes pre-loaded with 0.01 bitcoin, and proceeds go to nonprofits. Serial #0001 is a solo act, and one suspects the price tag will make even a Rothschild wince. But hey, who needs charity when you can have art?
The Gi’s maximum mintage? A mere 3,000 pieces, as if the creators feared a stampede. A companion model, the Satori Coin Chi, is in the works-a budget-friendly option for those who prefer their crypto with a side of frugality. The Chi is poised to target “entry-level gifting and education,” a phrase that makes one imagine a toddler clutching a coin and declaring, “This is so much better than a toy dinosaur!”
The team insists these coins are not just collectibles but also “educational tools,” a term that raises more questions than a crossword clue. Still, the revival of Satori reflects a growing appetite for physical bitcoin artistry, blending tradition, security, and the kind of utility that makes one wonder if it’s a coin or a family heirloom. Whether you pursue them for their numismatic charm or their “hands-on” BTC enlightenment, one truth remains: in the world of crypto, nothing stays buried forever-least of all a coin with a hologram.
