Build a Minnaar Treasury
Stack Minnaars. Build Something of Value.
A Minnaar Treasury is your personal collection of registered Minnaar Money — fine art you own, enjoy, preserve, and exchange.
Most Minnaars are one-of-a-kind or limited editions, individually authenticated and permanently recorded in the Minnaar Catalogue.
I release no more than 400 SV into private circulation each month, preserving a substantial collection of works in the Minnaar Treasury.
Begin with one Minnaar. Add to your holdings. Collect works you treasure and combine eligible Minnaars toward artworks of greater Sovereign Value.
I consider art the ultimate asset — a possession of beauty, meaning, and enduring personal significance.
Collect. Stack. Treasure. Exchange.
Collect and Trade Minnaar Money
Collect
Acquire authenticated Minnaars. Build a personal collection of art you own, enjoy, preserve, and treasure.
Trade
Exchange eligible Minnaars for other available works of equal total SV. Combine smaller holdings toward greater-value artworks.
Borrow
Check out eligible artworks through the Minnaar Art Library with refundable silver deposits. Live with art you love.
Objects of Desire
The Pleasure of Possessing Something Extraordinary.
A painting can transform a room. A drawing can invite endless contemplation. A sculpture can become a familiar companion.
I create and personally select works that appeal to my artistic judgment — objects I find beautiful, interesting, unusual, or desirable.
Most Minnaars are one-of-a-kind originals or works from limited editions. Select open editions and other distinctive objects also become part of the collection.
Through the Minnaar Touch, each receives its own identity, Sovereign Value, and permanent Catalogue registration.
Their desirability begins with the art itself. Their collectibility is supported by documented authenticity, artistic identity, and a deliberate limit on new releases into private ownership.
Discover What You Love. Treasure What You Collect.
Every Minnaar Has a Story
Registered. Authenticated. Collectible. Exchangeable.
Every Minnaar is an artwork I have created or personally selected and designated as Minnaar Money.
Each registered work receives a unique identity, a permanent listing in the Minnaar Catalogue, a digital Certificate of Authenticity, and an assigned Sovereign Value (SV).
Sovereign Value provides a common reference for acquisitions and exchanges between eligible registered Minnaars.
1 SV = 1 Troy Ounce of Silver
Collectors may exchange eligible Minnaars they own for one or more available Minnaars of equal total Sovereign Value. Multiple works may be combined toward an artwork of greater SV.
As artworks change hands, their permanent Catalogue records preserve their identities and documented histories.
Collect. Preserve. Gift. Exchange.
Collectors may exchange eligible owned Minnaars for one or more available works of equal total SV. Multiple works may also be combined toward an artwork of greater Sovereign Value.
As artworks change hands, their permanent Catalogue records preserve their identity and history.
Enjoy it. Collect it. Treasure it. Gift it. Trade it.
The Art of Scarcity
A Deliberate Limit on New Releases.
I release no more than 400 SV of Minnaar Money into private circulation each calendar month.
This limit applies to the combined Sovereign Value of newly released artworks, regardless of the number of individual pieces.
Most Minnaars are unique originals or works from limited editions. Select open editions also form part of the collection, with each registered work receiving its own permanent identity.
Eligible registered Minnaars already in private circulation may continue to be exchanged for other available works of equal total SV.
Discover What You Value. Collect What You Treasure.
The Sovereign Circle
Stack Minnaars Every Month.
The Sovereign Circle is for collectors who wish to build their personal Minnaar Treasuries through regular acquisitions of original and personally selected fine art.
Choose your preferred monthly collecting amount from 1 to 100 SV.
Each month, I personally select registered Minnaars for participating collectors, subject to the 400 SV monthly release limit and available allocations.
When the monthly allocation is fully committed, interested collectors may join the Minnaar Waiting List for future opportunities.
Collect What You Value. Stack What You Treasure.

Art With a Mission
The Art of Freedom in Practice.
I create, collect, and trade art to advance peace and freedom.
My vision is a world of Sovereign Individuals who govern their own lives, respect the sovereignty of others, and live together peacefully through voluntary relationships.
Minnaar Money gives tangible artistic expression to these ideals.
Through beauty, artistic judgment, individual ownership, and voluntary exchange, Minnaar Money celebrates the sovereignty of every individual.
The art is the medium. Beauty is the language. The philosophy is the message.
