Each coin will be dedicated to one of twentydelegates who signed the independence document, so users can collect tokens. Coins will be divided into six categories, depending on the area of ​​activity of the delegates.

When buying a digital coin, users will receive 6 randomly selected tokens, and only after receiving a token from each category will they be able to redeem a physical silver coin worth € 19.18.

The Central Bank noted that the issuance of collectible digital currency will give the regulator experience in creating such assets.
