In June 2016, representatives of the NBS and Mish International Monetary Inc. commenced preliminary talks about the possibilities for commercial cooperation in the project of manufacturing a series of silver and gold coins of different size and quality dedicated to Nikola Tesla.
These coins appeal to a wide spectrum of coin collectors, science & technology buffs, Tesla car owners, academia, physicists, electrical and energy professionals, and revisionist historians. “Remote Control” was one of Tesla’s 700+ patents. He was the first to understand an array of electrical and energy technologies, including many which others would further develop or take credit for years later.
Tesla’s understanding of the greater universe continues to amaze scientists today as they rediscover or apply his concepts and contentions. His belief that almost free energy could be harnessed from the atmosphere alarmed some establishment industrialists and bankers, who organized to discredit, marginalize and defund him.
The first issue, released in September 2018, exhibited a prototype of his alternating current electric motor.
The second issue, released in March 2019 commemorates his invention of remote control.
The third Issue, released in 2020 displays an X-ray photograph which Tesla referred to as a shadowgraph.
The fourth issue, released in 2021 displays Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower and his unfulfilled aspirations to obtain the use of the limitless free energy all around us.
The fifth issue, released May 2022, showcases Tesla’s Ozone Generator and Tesla’s belief of natural healing through the power of electrotherapy.
A limited quantity of Teslas are available certified and graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) with a special Tesla portrait label. For prestiged collectors, NGC has also certified the first 100 coins of each issue numbered in the order minted. There were also 100 five piece sets of Alternating Current certified by NGC with the labels individually hand signed by each of the Serbian Government and Mint Officials involved in creating this program. Many of these were given as gifts to Serbian dignitaries and Mint officials worldwide, leaving only a portion for the numismatic market.
