2010 Young Collectors Blackbeard Pirate Dollar Coin

The coins reverse portrays Blackbeard, the archetypal blood-thirsty pirate born in England around 1680. His ferocious reputation so terrified merchant crews along the North American coast that most simply surrendered when they encountered him. Blackbeards infamous career, however, came to an abrupt end after just two years when he was caught and killed by the Royal Navy. The first aluminium bronze $1 coin issued by The Perth Mint as legal tender of Tuvalu, the new Blackbeard release features eye-catching coloured design elements. A great gift for any budding young collector, it comes on a superb display card.
