CoinSilver Ounce 2024 The Black Flag Fleet - The Kingston

The Tuvaluan Dollar is the currency of Tuvalu - a small nation in the Pacific Ocean. Tuvalu has never had banknotes of its own, and has been issuing coins since 1976; these circulate together with coins of the Australian Dollar, which is also legal tender in the country, and to which the Tuvaluan Dollar is pegged.

The Australian Perth Mint issues a large variety of non-circulating legal tender coins under the authority of Tuvalu. Some of these are in the silver ounce format (abbreviated as 1 oz). Strictly speaking, they are not bullion as they are priced at a premium and are targeted at collectors who appreciate them for their artistic merit and collectable value and not just for their precious metal content.

This design is the sixth release in the popular pirate-themed Black Flag series of premium bullion coins, and features The Kingston pirate ship.

Continuing the iconic Black Flag series from The Perth Mint, the sixth release features John "Calico Jack" Rackham and Anne Bonny's famously pillaged merchant ship, the Kingston. Calico Jack is one of the most remarkable figures from the Golden Age of Piracy. He was an English pirate captain who derived the nickname, "Calico Jack" from the calico patterned clothing. He was also known for having two female pirates in his crew, which included his lover, the Irish Anne Bonny. Anne fled her husband and ran away with Calico Jack after the pair met at port. They sailed the Caribbean in the early 18th century, carrying out countless acts of piracy before their capture by the British Navy in 1720. While Calico Jack was tried for piracy and executed, Anne Bonny's fate is unclear, further adding to the timeless fascination with their unlikely pairing on the sea. Theirs is an intriguing love story complete with the trappings of adventure, romance and defiance.
