About the Piece
The B-2 Spirit has one of the most recognizable silhouettes in military aviation — an unusual distinction for an aircraft designed to be difficult to detect. Its broad, tailless flying wing is not simply styling. Together with composite materials, special coatings and other low-observable technologies, the shape forms part of the stealth system that allows the B-2 to penetrate sophisticated air defenses.
Spectres recreates the aircraft itself in silver. The piece follows the B-2’s unmistakable flying-wing profile, with the cockpit, engine inlets and upper airframe carried across one face. Turn it over and the aircraft continues underneath, revealing the lower structure and weapons-bay form rather than becoming an unrelated reverse design. The B-2 is not merely pictured on the piece. The aircraft is the piece.
Only 21 B-2s were built. More than three decades after the aircraft entered service, that small fleet remains operational; in 2026, U.S. Central Command listed B-2 stealth bombers among the aircraft employed in Operation Epic Fury. Spectres preserves one of the defining aircraft forms of the stealth era at a moment when it is still doing the job it was designed to do.

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.
