Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design depicting the infamous pirate Blackbeard, who was known for his exploits in the Caribbean during the early 18th century. The coin's design shows Blackbeard in a characteristic pose, with his long black beard and a sword in hand, surrounded by a ship and ocean waves. This design was created by the artist and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, and it adds a touch of excitement and adventure to the coin.
