WWII COINS brings together 150 authentic coins struck between 1938 and 1945, a period defined by total war, global scarcity, and industrial transformation. Issued by countries directly involved in World War II, these coins circulated through collapsing economies and rapidly shifting political realities.

Minted in copper, bronze, brass, zinc, aluminum, steel, and emergency alloys, each piece reflects decisions forced by conflict. Strategic metals were redirected to armaments, national symbols were adjusted, and designs were simplified. The material itself bears the imprint of war.

Though created for everyday use, time has transformed these objects into singular historical artifacts. Each coin followed a different path through hands, borders, and regimes, accumulating a unique identity shaped by circulation and survival.

This collection preserves 150 individual coins as a global historical archive, uniting Allied powers, Axis nations, and occupied territories within a single body of work. By being inscribed as Ordinals on Bitcoin, their fragile physical history is transferred into an immutable digital structure.

As physical metals erode and monetary systems fade, WWII COINS reframes circulation as memory and preservation as permanence. History, not retold, but secured.
