Fractional Ownership of History
How NUMIS democratizes access to rare gold coins through blockchain technology
What is Asset Tokenization?
Tokenization converts physical assets (like gold coins) into digital tokens on a blockchain. Each NUMIS token represents proportional ownership of the entire collection, combining the stability of precious metals with the liquidity of cryptocurrency.
Why Tokenize Gold Coins?
- •Scarcity: Rare coins appreciate faster than bullion (e.g., 1933 Double Eagle gained 300% in 10 years)
- •Diversification: Own fractions of multiple high-value coins, not just one
- •Liquidity: Trade tokens 24/7 without physical delivery
The NUMIS Model
- Vaulting: Coins stored in insured, climate-controlled facilities
- Valuation: Prices updated via Graysheet API + manual appraisal
- Token Minting: 1 NUMIS = $1 of collection value
- Trading: Swap NUMIS/USDT anytime
