Wolfram Warptangent
A memorial issue for Monero developer Wolfram Warptangent, with a deliberately “leet” fictional atomic weight.
Exactly 200 maximum across all finishes. The original post’s comments and mintage table allocate 25 antique, 75 silver, 70 reverse mirror, 13 gold plated, and 17 reverse-mirror gold plated.

Archival notes
- Maximum mintage is 200 total—not 200 of each finish. The five stated finish allocations are 25 + 75 + 70 + 13 + 17 = 200.
- The base price excluded the XMR loaded value. Paper certificates were replaced by digital records, with an optional metal certificate.
