Ships have been the topic of coin designers since the Phoenicians took to the seas. In modern times there have been hundreds of issues featuring all different types of watercraft, from Thor Heyerdahl’s raft that crossed the Pacific to multiple aircraft carriers, cruise liners and submarines. One of the more ubiquitous ship coins is the British Half Penny first issued in 1937 that features the “Golden Hind,” Sir Francis Drake’s famous galleon. If your collecting interest are inclined toward maritime issues, we have hundreds of ship coins for you to peruse. Happy sailing!

Cayman Isl. Enameled Jewelry Coin Pendant 25 Cents 1977 Sailing Ship w/Bezel

$39.99

Cayman Isl. – Enameled Jewelry – Coin Pendant – 25 Cents – 1977 – Sailing Ship – With Bezel – This beautiful pendant consists of a genuine legal tender silver coin that has been painted and enameled by North Florida artist Dennis Armstrong. The process to complete one pendant takes approximately six weeks and consists of painstakingly applying each different color, letting the piece dry, then baking the coin prior to applying the next color. I have been handling his work since 2001 and have had nothing but overwhelmingly positive response from the people that have purchased one or more pendants. Many have become regular customers, continuing to acquire new pieces over the years as they have become available. Try one, you’ll love it!

Cook Islands Ark Royal 2006 One Dollar Crown BU

$19.99

Okay, every now and then there’s an innovation in numismatics that truly bamboozles me. This world coin has (believe it) friction/odor tech (better known as “scratch and sniff”). Now I like the smell of money well enough but this is one step beyond and this coin actually emits the smell of gunpowder and smoke when the image of the ship is rubbed! That’s getting into the buccaneer spirit! And it’s appropriate considering that the “Ark Royal” was the flagship of Queen Elizabeth’s navy in its fight against the Spanish Armada. She saw service from 1588 till 1636. If you’re a collector of world coins and have an affinity for buccaneers, privateers, or ships then this world coin would make an extraordinary addition to your world coin collection.
