The islands now known as Palau were first settled 3,000 years ago by maritime cultures in Micronesia and Southeast Asia. The Spanish were the first Europeans to visit the islands, with several outside powers controlling the islands over the course of the next 400 years after the arrival of the Spanish. The Spanish lost the islands to Germany following a German-Spanish treaty at the end of the Spanish-American War, and Japan controlled the islands after World War I. Today, the islands form the independent Republic of Palau that exists in free association with the United States of America.
All of the 2018 500 Gram Antique Silver Palau Pirate Skull Coins available to you in this product listing are in brand-new condition and come with a distinctive antique polish. The polish helps create an heirloom quality for the silver coin while also highlighting the smallest elements of the design strike. Each of the coins comes with its own presentation display and a Certificate of Authenticity from the mint.
A 3D depiction of a pirate skull is found in the obverse design of the 2018 500 Gram Antique Silver Palau Pirate Skull Coin. The skull is similar to what you may find on a pirate flag, the infamous blog flag with a white skull that was designed and flown by Edward Teach, the famed Blackbeard. Teach was British by birth and rumored to have served with the Royal Navy in the Caribbean before deserting the service and living out his days as a pirate.
The seal on the reverse of the 2018 500 Gram Antique Silver Palau Pirate Skull Coins includes an outrigger canoe above a symbol with “Rainbow’s End” inscribed inside of it. The field includes the nation of issue, date of issue, and the face value of the coin. Though it is an independent republic, Palau uses the US Dollar. This side of the coin also has a unique serial number out of 555 marked.
