The 175th Anniversary of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. On June 30th, 1830, The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company was born when the brand new vessel ‘Mona’s Isle’ sailed from Douglas to Liverpool on its very first sailing – 175 years ago. Fittingly the first coin in this two coin series depicts the stunning ‘Mona’s Isle’ and the ‘Ben My Chree VI’ which translated means ‘Women (of) my heart.’ This coin is an expertly crafted historical coin which marks the progression of the communication channels between the Isle of Man and adjacent Islands. Great addition to any collection of nautical or world coins.

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 “Regalskeppet Vasa” (also Wasa) was a Swedish 64-gun ship of the line, built for King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden of the House of Vasa, between 1626 and 1628. The Vasa capsized on its maiden voyage due to a “gust” on a windless day! Its sinking was most likely due to the king’s insistence on modifying the design of the ship himself which awkwardly lengthened the vessel and raised its center of gravity up to an easy tipping point. While the ship never fired a shot it did act as the final resting place of about 50 of her crew. I’ll bet they’d loved to have let King Gustavus smell some powder! 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.

And it’s appropriate considering that the “Christian den Syvende,” built in 1767 for Denmark’s schizophrenic Monarch, King Christian VII, was a massive three-decked ship of the line. It had 90 guns and a crew of 849 men and saw about 40 years of service! If you’re a collector of world coins and have an affinity for buccaneers, privateers, or truly impressive ships then this world coin would make an extraordinary addition to your world coin collection.

It was from Redoutable that a French marksman shot Lord Horatio Nelson!

And it’s appropriate considering that the “USS Chesapeake”, a 36-gun sailing frigate of the U.S. Navy, was one of the six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794. She saw service from 1799 until May 20th 1813 when she was defeated by HMS Shannon. It was from the deck of the “Chesapeake” that the immortal command “Don’t give up the ship!” was uttered.

And it’s appropriate considering that the English carrack, the “Mary Rose,” saw service from 1510 until her sinking on July 18th of 1545 during an engagement with the Spanish Armada. Apparently the crew forgot to close the lower decks gun ports as she heeled to in a breeze causing her to fill with water drowning all but 35 of her undisciplined crew!

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.
This legal tender One Dollar coin comes as shown with a descriptive card from the Perth Mint.
This note is listed in Krause’s Standard Catalog of World Paper Money as Pick-34b.
One of a series of beautiful world coins depicting various events in maritime history, along with vessels representing various eras of ocean travel, these ones bearing a 25 Shillings denomination. The same coin was issued in a bimetallic version with a 250 Shillings denomination. These coins were minted by authority of the government of Somalia in 1998 and have almost disappeared entirely from the secondary market. Would make an excellent gift for any collector of naval memorabilia or world coins.
First of all, what is a territory with a population of 300 doing putting out all these coins! Tristan da Cunha is a territory of the UK off the west coast of Africa in the South Atlantic and is described as the most remote island on Earth! Well, if they’re going to strike coins then their choice of Privateering Ships of the South Atlantic strikes me as ideal. This is one coin out of that series and shows the privateer, the “Enterprise.” If you’re a collector of world coins and have an affinity for buccaneers, privateers, or ships then this coin would make a great addition to your world coin collection.
