NFP.io Secures First-Ever Artwork Featuring Built-in Self-Authenticating Anti-Duplication Features

The famed 1804 silver dollar has always drawn headlines and it will do so again in a unique way that brings added attention from history buffs and art collectors.

A new artwork by artist Laura Verschoore will make history as the first-ever artwork secured with NFP.io’s revolutionary technology, boasting built-in self-authenticating anti-duplication features. Verschoore has chosen the iconic 1804 silver dollar as the subject of her painting, set to go under the hammer at the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money.

The groundbreaking piece will be auctioned off during the ANA banquet on August 9, with the proceeds going towards the Robert Lecce Advanced Adult Scholarship Program for 2025.

What makes this artwork truly special? It’s all about the secret security features and the digital twin.

Three-dimensional Non-Replicable Markers

Hidden within the canvas of the painting are three-dimensional non-replicable markers, invisible to the naked eye. These markers can be checked for authenticity using a quick and easy verification method. Think of it like a super high-tech fingerprint for your art, but even easier to confirm.

Each Painting Linked to a Digital Certificate

Furthermore, each painting is linked to a digital certificate of ownership, like a digital passport for your art. This adds another layer of security and opens up exciting possibilities, paving the way for future integration of AI-powered analysis.

“Since 1891, the American Numismatic Association has championed safeguarding the future of numismatics,” said Thomas J. Uram, president of the ANA. “In our world, security is everything. That’s why we’re thrilled to bring NFP.io’s trailblazing technology to market. It promises a giant leap forward towards eradicating counterfeiting.”

While this groundbreaking technology is initially focused on the art world, it can have a major impact on all forms of collectibles in the future. For instance, anyone, from seasoned collectors to first-time buyers, can now easily verify whether their art is genuine.

“At NFP.io, we are passionate about democratizing the art world,” says Yury Shapshal, CEO of NFP.io. “This means empowering everyone to participate with confidence. Our high-security paintings paired with blockchain registration are a groundbreaking step towards achieving this vision. We believe this technology has the potential to not only transform art ownership but also foster a new era of trust and transparency across creative industries.”
