Young Collectors Blackbeard 1 Dollar Coin | The Perth Mint

The Mint says about this coin:

Notorious Pirate Theme Aluminium Bronze $1 Coin Tuvalu Legal Tender Presentation Card Australian $1 Coin Collectors’ Album available for purchase here.

This 2010 $1 coin portrays Blackbeard, the archetypal blood-thirsty pirate whose ferocious reputation so terrified merchant crews that most simply surrendered wherever they encountered him. His infamous career, however, lasted less than two years. Hunted down by the Royal Navy, he was killed during his last stand in 1718. Blackbeard Reverse Design The aluminium bronze coin depicts Blackbeard, who tied smouldering hemp chords in his long black hair to heighten his devilish air. The design, which incorporates The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, includes a chest containing a coloured representation of pirate treasure. Tuvalu Legal Tender Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the coin depicts the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the 2010 year-date on the obverse. Presentation Card A great gift for any budding young collector, the coin is housed on an illustrated presentation card.
