This is the coin. It is crafted from nickel-plated copper, measuring 28 mm in diameter and available in a limited edition of 100.
It features a QR code that unveils a fragment from an 1885 manual on sleight of hand.
Both sides of the coin are imprinted with precise finger positions, offering subtle tactile guidance for the temporary concealment of the coin, thus enhancing the performative act that is suggested by the manual.
