The Reliquary is the inaugural release in the Relics of Custody series by Kannibal Hektor, marking my first crossover from hand-cast silver relics into physical Bitcoin wallets while continuing the same sculptural silver language that defines my broader body of work.
Each Reliquary is a hand-cast, hand-finished 2 Troy oz .999 fine silver piece designed in a Gothic reliquary style. The antiqued finish emphasizes the cast relief, architectural details, and relic-like character of the design.
Each piece has been built as a Bitcoin wallet through Caribbean Treasures, whose physical Bitcoin and loaded wallet builds are well known in the collector space. Every Reliquary is also stamped with the Caribbean Treasures wallet maker’s mark, tying the wallet build directly to the physical piece.
Total mintage is limited to 21 pieces.
Each Reliquary will be funded with 250,000 sats after the buyer receives the piece and confirms that it is safely in hand. This funding method is used as a precaution so that no funded physical Bitcoin piece is placed at risk while in transit.
Once delivery is confirmed, the wallet for that serial number will be funded with 250,000 sats. Wallet details, public address information, funding confirmation, and transaction information will be provided privately to the buyer.

Included With Each Piece
-
The Reliquary .999 fine silver wallet piece
-
Custom 3D printed magnetic Sepulcher Case
-
Relics of Custody record card
The included record card notes the piece name, series, serial number, metal, weight, artist, wallet build, funding amount, and year. It is intended as a provenance record for the piece rather than a traditional third-party COA.
Wallet Build / Trust Model
Each Reliquary has been wallet-built by Caribbean Treasures and stamped with the Caribbean Treasures wallet maker’s mark.
Caribbean Treasures has been involved with Bitcoin since 2012, has been making physical Bitcoin pieces since 2014, and created his first custom piece in 2015. His experience with physical Bitcoin pieces is a major reason he was chosen for this release.
Keys are generated offline on an air-gapped computer by Caribbean Treasures. Kannibal Hektor does not handle or have access to the private keys.
Important Funding Notice
The Reliquary does not ship funded. Each wallet will be funded with 250,000 sats after the buyer confirms safe delivery. This protects both buyer and seller from placing a funded physical Bitcoin piece at risk while in transit.
Shipping
Price includes USPS Priority shipping within the United States.
Tracking is required. Additional services such as signature confirmation or additional insurance may be added at the buyer’s expense. Insurance and signature confirmation are strongly recommended.
