Vintage black
The last sat of each of the first 1,000 blocks (heights 0 to 999): a black sat that is also vintage, 1,000 in all.
How a sat qualifies
The row's definition is vintage and black: the last sat of a block mined at heights 0 to 999. Each of those blocks paid 50 BTC, so the last sat of block h is sat h × 5,000,000,000 + 4,999,999,999: 4,999,999,999 for block 0, up to 4,999,999,999,999 for block 999, the last vintage sat.
Black tiers are exclusive, like the rarity tiers: a last sat that ends a difficulty adjustment period is black rare, not black. The first such block is 2015, after the vintage range, so all 1,000 vintage blocks end on a plain black sat and the row's total is 1,000.
Each of these sats is one less than a multiple of 5,000,000,000, so each also ends a bitcoin: it is an omega and belongs to Vintage omega too. When the next sat is a multiple of 100,000,000,000 the black is also a milestone omega: 45 are Kilosat blacks and 5 (blocks 199, 399, 599, 799 and 999) Decasat blacks.
Why collectors care
It is the last sat of one of the first thousand blocks: the black counterpart of the vintage uncommon that starts the next block.
