Tuvalu – Young Collectors – Pirate Henry Morgan – $1 – 2011 – BU Color Coin – Display Card – This coin portrays Sir Henry Morgan, one of history’s most ruthless pirates. Morgan was born to a Welsh farming family in about 1635. Admiral and privateer Morgan made a name for his activities in the Caribbean. He was one of the most successful and pitiless pirates who sailed in the Spanish Main. Notorious for his habit of torturing hapless captives for information, he was knighted for his role in maintaining British interests in the sacking of Panama in 1670. Morgan accumulated several plantations and immense wealth, paid for by his ill-gotten “pieces-of-eight”. Fond of rum, differing reports have Morgan dying of “dropsy” or tuberculosis in 1688. Morgan was buried in Palisades Cemetery in Jamaica. Ironically, the cemetery disappeared when it sank beneath the waves in the earthquake of 1692. Struck by the Perth Mint from aluminium-bronze, the coin is issued as legal tender under authority of the government of Tuvalu and comes on a display card as shown.
