Cook Islands Christian Den Syvende 2006 One Dollar Crown BU
$19.99Okay, 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 “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.
Cook Islands Redoubtable 2006 One Dollar Crown BU
$19.99Okay, 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 French vessel “Redoutable”, launched as “Suffren” in 1791, saw service all the way from mutiny to Trafalgar. It was from Redoutable that a French marksman shot Lord Horatio Nelson! 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.
Cook Islands Chesapeake 2006 One Dollar Crown BU
$19.99Okay, 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 “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. 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.
Cook Islands Mary Rose 2006 One Dollar Crown BU
$19.99Okay, 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 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 Pirates Henry Morgan $1 2011 BU Color Coin Display Card
$19.99Tuvalu – 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.
