Raphael Coin (RAPH) is a new project powered by Gleec’s blockchain technology. It has launched its first tokenized artwork: “Recto: Study for the Battle of the Milvian Bridge.” This piece is a preparatory study for the Vatican’s Stanze Vaticane frescoes. It was authenticated by Dorotheum, one of Europe’s oldest auction houses.
Now, instead of sitting in a vault or museum out of reach, the piece is digitally fractionalized. It’s Art On-Chain. This will allow anyone to own a part of it. RAPH tokens are currently available on the Gleec BTC Exchange and the Mandala Exchange. This will open access to investors and art lovers alike.
Turning Art into Shared Value
Unlike typical NFTs or speculative drops, Raphael Coin offers something more grounded: economic ownership in a physical, authenticated artwork. That means token holders aren’t just buying bragging rights. They share in the financial value, provenance, and potential returns from licensing, exhibitions, or other ventures.
The project is built on Gleec, which uses a delayed Proof of Work (dPoW) model. This means better security and traceability for digital ownership. Each token is tied to a portion of the artwork’s value, safeguarded through legal and technical compliance. “In a world where public access to cultural heritage is shrinking, Raphael Coin flips the script,” said Aliyyah Koloc, Project Ambassador. “With Gleec’s support, we’re giving more people a way to engage directly with history—and benefit from it too.”
So, a similar real-world shift is already underway. Platforms like Masterworks have drawn over 800,000 users by letting people invest in blue-chip art, according to Business Insider. Raphael Coin expands on this idea, bringing the added transparency and decentralization of blockchain into the mix.
A New Model for Cultural Stewardship
As public museums face budget pressures and private collections grow more exclusive, Gleec and Raphael Coin are creating a new, open model. By combining financial access with cultural value, they offer an alternative form of shared guardianship, where ownership isn’t limited to the ultra-wealthy.
Finally, Looking ahead, Gleec plans to tokenize other works of historical and artistic significance. This could include pieces from different periods and regions, turning more of the world’s heritage into accessible, tradable assets on-chain.
