About the Piece
A baseball is one of the simplest shapes in sport and one of the most recognizable. Its identity comes largely from the seam: two figure-eight pieces of leather are joined around the ball with 108 hand stitches, creating the red line that curves continuously around the sphere.
Spectres takes that construction into silver as a fully three-dimensional legal-tender piece. The raised stitching follows the familiar two-panel path around the polished sphere, while the mirror finish completely changes the material experience: leather, cork and yarn become two troy ounces of solid .999 silver. The ball remains small enough to sit naturally in the hand, but its weight immediately tells you it is something else.
The details around the baseball belong entirely to Spectres. The fictional Bullion Bombers turn precious-metal collecting into a team identity, while every serial number is engraved as “#/1000 HOME RUNS.” Even the edition number becomes baseball language rather than sitting on the object as ordinary catalogue information.

How is this a coin?
- A coin is defined by its official issuance, not by its physical shape. This piece is formally issued as legal tender by a sovereign issuing authority, with an official denomination and year of issue.
- Money and coinage have also taken unconventional forms throughout history, including ancient Chinese knife- and spade-shaped money. Spectres continues that idea in modern legal tender, where a coin may be round, shaped, functional, sculptural or fully three-dimensional.
