The Rarities
Chase Three Distinctive Art Styles
Each collectible coin can be pulled in one of three different art styles, giving collectors multiple ways to chase their favorite character while celebrating different eras and expressions of VeeFriends characters.
Rarities:
- (Most Common) Classic Style — Features the character’s Series 2 NFT artwork, depicting the evolved, recognizable rendition of the characters that collectors know and love
- (More Rare) Comic Style — Showcases the character’s comic canon style, giving each coin a dynamic, illustrated feel that ties directly into VeeFriends’ comic book series.
- (Most Rare) OG Styles — Features artwork that honors the original drawing of each VeeFriends character by VeeFriends founder and creator Gary Vaynerchuk.
Chase Three Premium Metal Finishes
Collectors can also discover coins in three distinct metal finishes, each bringing its own distinctive look and feel to the collection.
Rarities:
- (Most Common) Pure .999 Fine Silver Plated — A silver plated coin with a clean, bright metallic look that lets the character artwork stand front and center.
- (More Rare) Pure 24K Gold Plated — A rich-finish gold coin that adds a luxe shine to the character.
- (Most Rare) Black Gold — Blends of pure silver and gold plating for a darker, more dramatic finish that gives the Coin a sleek, striking presence in hand and on display. This coin is created using pure silver plating, pure gold plating, and black oxidation ensuring a high-quality and durable finish.
The grail for every character is the Black Gold OG Art Coin. With its combination of the rarest art style and metal, the Black OG Art Coin is the ultimate chase for every character in the set.
PLEASE NOTE: These are collectible coins, not denominated coins representing any legal tender.
The Biggest Hits: Special Insert Coins
In addition to the main coin set, collectors will have the chance to pull special insert Coins, including Pure .999 Fine Silver, Pure .999 24K Gold Coins, and Battle Coins.
Pure Silver & Gold Coins
The Pure .999 Fine Silver Coin and Pure .999 24K Gold Coin are struck with 20.4 grams of pure precious metals, giving collectors the opportunity to uncover some of the rarest and most premium coins in the release.
PLEASE NOTE: The Pure .999 Fine Silver Coins and Pure .999 24K Gold Coins weigh exactly the same as all of the other coins in the production. All coins have been manufactured diligently to ensure their weights are exactly the same.
20.4 grams of Pure .999 Fine Silver Coin — Features Eager Eagle struck in silver

Five special collectible coins featuring head-to-head character matchups from VeeFriends Comic Books:
Character Face-offs:

- Enamoured Emu vs. Organized Ostrich
- Cynical Cat vs. Flex’n Fox

The Errors: Two Manufacturing & Printing Errors To Know
Production errors have always had a fascinating place in collecting. In numismatics, errors created during production can become their own area of collecting, such as Perth Mint’s 2021 Marvel Wolverine “2018 Date” Mule.
A small number of Perth Mint’s officially licensed 2021 Wolverine silver coins were accidentally produced with a 2018-dated obverse. Fewer than 400 errors were made, compared with approximately 49,600 correctly dated coins. After discovery, examples reportedly sold for $400–$800 — many times the price of the standard coin. The Perth Mint publicly confirmed the error, which helped establish legitimacy and collector confidence.
NGC also maintains dedicated guidance around errors resulting from human or mechanical issues during the manufacturing process. The 2026 VeeFriends Collectible Coins encountered two errors. We want collectors to know exactly what to look for. While the following errors were not designed as chase variants, sometimes the mistake just becomes part of the fun.
Error #1: Willful Wizard & Aspiring Alpaca NGC Slab Mislabels
On the Willful Wizard & Aspiring Alpaca coins, the art-style designation printed on the NGC slab are mislabeled. The Comic Art coins are labeled “Classic,” while Classic Art coins are labeled “Comic.” Since the art and the slab label don’t match, you have found one of the release’s errors.
Error #2: The “1st” Balanced Beetle & Confident Cobra OG Art Error
There’s a manufacturing error hiding specifically on the OG Art versions of two characters, Balanced Beetle and Confident Cobra. On these OG Art coins, an incorrect “1st” appears as part of the produced artwork. This error applies only to the OG Art versions of Balanced Beetle and Confident Cobra, giving collectors another very specific detail to watch for during live breaks. Their first coins were actually released in 2025 Treasure Chest.
