The limited edition NFT collection has varying rarity levels, including classic, rare, or ultra rare. Each rarity offers collectors different prizes, such as The Roses and the Bees NFT, a chance to play at the Etihad Stadium, and hospitality tickets to a Manchester City home game.
OKX debuted the first drop of the NFT collection, The Roses and the Bees, on Monday. The limited edition digital collectible, designed in collaboration with concept kit artist Christian Jeffery, features two iconic symbols tied to Manchester City: the Lancaster rose and the worker bee.
Per the announcement, the Lancaster rose symbolizes the importance of the club’s roots, while the bees flying around the roses represent the graft of the people of Manchester.
