The Original edition, released in 2014, marked the debut of Kialara and helped define a new category of physical Bitcoin art. Inspired by early projects like Casascius, it pushed the concept further—merging aesthetic complexity with robust physical security to create a collectible that gave tangible form to digital value.
Each piece was meticulously assembled, with layered construction that blended historical elegance and modern precision. Tamper-resistant design details—like Loctite-sealed screws with drilled-out heads—underscored the commitment to both beauty and security.
The Original’s intricate artwork, featuring a dragon and tigers, evokes universal themes of protection and strength. These symbols hint at Bitcoin’s mythic qualities—its resilience, its power, and its cultural gravity. More than just decoration, the design helped shape a visual language for Bitcoin collectibles going forward.
By transforming Bitcoin from something virtual into something you could hold, the Original edition captured a moment in time—both a tribute to the early days of Bitcoin and a signal of its future potential. It set the tone for everything that followed, laying the foundation for a new kind of collectible: one that bridges art, technology, and value.
