Issued by Cuba in 1995, this brilliant, uncirculated world coin features a prominent and fanciful portrait of Piet Heyn and is one in a series of 6 world coins of Cuba that commemorate the "Piratas del Caribe" (Pirates of the Caribbean). Heyn does not fulfill the typical portrait of a pirate. He was a strict disciplinarian, was unusually enlightened about indigenous peoples, tolerant of many religious faiths, and always commanded a significant fleet of privateering ships. If you are a world coin collector with an interest in pirates or the Caribbean then this world coin and the others in the series should join your collection.
