Sovereign Circle
Stack Minnaars Every Month.
A Circle of Collectors. A Treasury of Art.
The Sovereign Circle is for collectors who wish to build personal Minnaar Treasuries through regular acquisitions of original and personally selected fine art.
Most Minnaars are one-of-a-kind or limited editions. Every registered work has its own identity, permanent Catalogue record, Certificate of Authenticity, and established Sovereign Value.
I release no more than 400 SV of Minnaar Money into private circulation each calendar month.
Sovereign Circle collectors acquire personally selected Minnaars within the available monthly allocation, building Treasuries of artwork they own, enjoy, preserve, and exchange.
Collect. Stack. Treasure. Exchange.
The Art of Collecting Minnaars
Every Minnaar is a work I have created or personally selected, authenticated, registered, and assigned a Sovereign Value.
The collection includes original paintings, drawings, prints, photography, sculpture, Readymades, Artcards, and personally selected works by other artists.
Most works are one-of-a-kind or belong to limited editions. Select open editions also form part of Minnaar Money.
I determine which artworks become Minnaars, establish their Sovereign Values, and maintain registered works available for collecting and eligible exchanges.
Each acquisition adds another distinctive artwork to your personal Treasury.
Over time, your Treasury becomes an expression of your own artistic judgment, interests, and appreciation of beauty and freedom.
Your Art. Your Value. Your Treasury.
Choose Your Monthly Sovereign Value
Collect at Your Own Pace.
1 SV = 1 Troy Ounce of Silver
Choose a preferred monthly collecting amount from 1 to 100 SV.
Begin with 1 SV, collect at 5 or 10 SV, or inquire about a larger regular acquisition of 20, 50, or 100 SV.
I personally select registered Minnaars totaling your agreed monthly Sovereign Value.
Monthly collecting arrangements are established according to available allocations within the 400 SV release limit.
You may request changes to your collecting amount or discontinue future acquisitions according to your agreed arrangements.
The 400 SV Monthly Release Limit
Deliberate Scarcity. Permanent Identity.
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.
Minnaar Treasury Holdings are maintained separately from my personal art collection. Eligible Treasury Holdings remain available for exchange according to the established Catalogue rules.
Monthly collecting opportunities depend on available artworks, existing collecting arrangements, and the remaining monthly release allocation.
When monthly allocations are fully committed, interested collectors may join the Minnaar Waiting List for future opportunities.
Most Minnaars Are Unique or Limited. Every Registered Minnaar Has Its Own Identity.
The Advantages of the Sovereign Circle
Personally Selected Minnaars
I personally select artworks for your Treasury, totaling your agreed monthly Sovereign Value.
Selections reflect my artistic judgment and may include original works, limited editions, and other registered Minnaars.
Ownership and Exchange
The Minnaars you acquire become your personal property.
Enjoy, display, preserve, or gift them. You may also exchange eligible works for other available Minnaars of equal total Sovereign Value.
Combine smaller Minnaars toward artworks of greater SV as your collecting interests evolve.
Advance Notice of New Works
Sovereign Circle collectors receive advance notice of selected new artworks, limited editions, and additions to the Minnaar Catalogue.
New acquisitions remain subject to the established monthly release limit and availability.
A Treasury That Evolves
Your growing collection offers continuing opportunities to discover and exchange registered Minnaars.
Eligible artworks may be exchanged for one or more available works of equal total Sovereign Value, giving you the freedom to explore new subjects, media, and collecting interests over time.
Studio Gatherings
Sovereign Circle collectors may receive invitations to selected studio gatherings, previews, and special occasions.
Advance notices and invitations are subject to availability.
How the Sovereign Circle Works
1. Choose Your Preferred Monthly SV
Select a collecting amount from 1 to 100 SV.
2. Establish Your Collecting Arrangement
I confirm the available monthly allocation and we agree upon your participation.
3. Receive Personally Selected Minnaars
I select registered Minnaar Money artworks totaling your agreed Sovereign Value.
4. Complete Your Acquisition
An invoice accompanies your monthly selection. Silver payment and delivery arrangements are coordinated directly with me.
5. Stack Your Minnaars
Your acquired artworks become part of your personal Treasury, ready to enjoy, preserve, gift, or exchange under the established Catalogue rules.
The Minnaar Waiting List
Your Invitation to Future Releases.
The monthly limit of 400 SV creates a defined amount of new Minnaar Money available for private acquisition.
When allocations are fully committed, collectors may join the Waiting List to express their preferences and receive notice of future opportunities.
You may indicate your preferred Sovereign Value, the types of artworks that interest you, or particular Minnaars you hope to acquire.
Joining the Waiting List is free. It provides notice and consideration for future opportunities, with each acquisition arranged individually according to availability.
An Invitation From Steven
I create, collect, and trade art because I value it.
Each Minnaar represents an artistic judgment — a work I consider worthy of possessing, preserving, and exchanging.
I believe art is among the greatest treasures an individual can possess. Its beauty, meaning, and value are ultimately matters of personal judgment.
The Sovereign Circle offers collectors a way to steadily acquire these works and build Treasuries of their own within a deliberately limited monthly release.
The art is the medium. Beauty is the language. The philosophy is the message.

Your Collection. Your Choices. Your Treasury.
New Sovereign Circle allocations are subject to the monthly release limit, artwork availability, and mutually agreed collecting arrangements. Waiting List registration does not reserve an artwork or guarantee an allocation. Sovereign Value expresses my personal artistic valuation and serves as a reference for Minnaar-to-Minnaar exchange, rather than an independent market appraisal or guarantee of cash or silver redemption.
