Coin and set specification

Denomination or variant	Metal / format	Maximum mintage
1 XMR	Brass; 28.5 mm	150
1 XMR	Nickel-plated brass; 28.5 mm	150
0.5 XMR	Brass; 26 mm	150

Set composition

The one-XMR variants retained the original XMR hologram and added a laser-marked denomination; the 0.5 XMR coins used a slightly modified smaller hologram.

Original offer price

The surviving first post does not retain a fixed sale price. This archive leaves the value blank rather than inferring one from later auctions.

Denomination at the post date

These values describe the loadable face amount, not the price of the metal collectible.

Chapter

First-party mintage record

Four separate 150-piece ceilings
The signed record sets 150 as the maximum for each combination: 1 XMR brass, 1 XMR nickel-plated brass, 0.5 XMR brass, and 0.5 XMR nickel-plated brass.
Hologram distinction
The larger 1 XMR coins retained the original XMR hologram plus a laser-marked denomination. The smaller 0.5 XMR pieces used a modified hologram and no denomination laser mark.
Funding state
Unfunded pieces were marked “UNFUNDED” on the hologram. Funded pieces received the same general digital-certificate format used for earlier Lealana XMR coins.
Archive boundary
Only the later PGP-signed mintage record is preserved in the cataloged first-party corpus; no original sales post or contemporaneous fixed price was recovered.
Aftermarket evidence
Ten later sale threads document matching four-coin sets and individual 0.5 XMR pieces. Their photographs establish the appearance of all four variants and the vertical UNFUNDED hologram marking.
Archive-site coverage
Every aftermarket topic cited below has Internet Archive captures. Several older group photographs disappeared from Imgur, but the set no. 103/134 image, three unfunded-coin pairs, and 2024 no. 135/136 photographs survived and were preserved locally.

Archival notes

The cited 2019 post records mintages rather than an original sale price. No images were embedded in that post; the photographs below come from identified aftermarket auction threads.
Aftermarket figures are seller-declared winning bids preserved in public replies. They are historical records, not independently verified settlement prices or present-day appraisals.
