About this artifact
The first Rare Pepe card ('RAREPEPE', the Nakamoto card, Series 1 Card 1), created by an anonymous user known as 'Mike'. On-chain Counterparty asset genesis at block 428919 (2016-09-09), an OP_RETURN issuance; 300 editions. The card artwork (Satoshi as Pepe) is stored off-chain, so only the token provenance is on-chain (media_type 'unknown'). A copy later sold for a widely reported sum in 2021. Counterparty payloads are obfuscated by the protocol, so the contents are identified from Counterparty's own records rather than read directly from the transaction.
