This 2025 Cardsmiths Series 5 Katanga Cross #15 features the Emerald Gemstone parallel, serial numbered 31/99. The Emerald variant is distinguished by its deep green border and sharp geometric foil pattern, creating a bold visual frame that enhances the historical weight of the Katanga Cross imagery.
The Katanga Cross, also known as a handa, represents a form of copper currency used in central and western Africa during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The artwork, illustrated by Gunship Revolution, captures the raw, utilitarian nature of these cross-shaped ingots, blending historical significance with the modern, high-contrast aesthetic of Series 5.
With a limited /99 print run, Emerald Gemstone parallels are among the more sought-after gemstone tiers in Series 5, making this a strong pickup for collectors building structured gemstone runs or focusing on historically themed Cardsmiths subjects.
A solid addition for Cardsmiths collectors, Series 5 builders, and those who appreciate culturally significant artifacts reimagined through modern trading card design.
