Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard, on the obverse side. Blackbeard was a notorious pirate who operated in the Caribbean during the early 18th century and is considered one of the most famous pirates in history. The coin's design is a nod to the Bahamas' rich pirate history and adds a unique touch to the coin's aesthetic.
