An image of the legendary Queen Anne’s revenge ship adorned a stunningly beautiful 2 oz high relief fine silver coin.
The reverse of the new coin features the legendary flagship used by the famous pirate Blackbeard. It includes a beautiful resin insert.
The obverse features the wheel of the ship, along with the monetary denomination, 2000 francs, year of issue, 2019, and issuing country, Republic of Cameroon. It also includes the inscription "Gold Age of Sail".
With an antique finish, the coin is struck in 999 pure silver. It has a low mintage of 500 coins. Cameroon is the legal tender of the coin.
Queen Anne's Revenge Ship is believed to be built in the early years of the 18th century for mere merchant purposes. The ship was later captured by pirate Blackbeard. The ship enabled the famous Blackbeard to amass incredible riches and treasures, which he hid them masterfully that even his fellow crew members could not find. The vessel is believed to be used by Blackbeard between 1717-1718.
A private firm discovered the remains of the Queen Anne’s Revenge vessel in 1996. Due to its historic importance, the ship was added to the US National Register of Historic Places.
