The Bank of Lithuania announced to approve the sample of the digital collector coin’s physical version. The size and form of the physical silver coin are similar to a credit card. The coin depicts the Act of 16 February 1918 as well as a digitized picture of the Council of Lithuania.
The image consists of more than 36,500 pixels – that’s the approximate number of days that have passed since the date of the Act of Independence.

The Bank aims to issue 24,000 blockchain-based digital collector tokens. Each token will feature one of the 20 signatories of the Act of Independence.
During the purchase, collectors will get 6 randomly selected digital tokens. After they collect a token from each of the 6 categories, they will be able to redeem a physical silver coin.
Collectors will be able to purchase and store the token in a dedicated wallet at the e-shop of the Bank of Lithuania. Along with that, tokens could also be used as a gift, exchanged with other collectors or transferred to a public NEM wallet.
The launch of the digital collector coin is expected to be in spring 2020.
