2018 Palau $200 1-oz Gold Blackbeard Matte Proof
300 Years Ago, Blackbeard Ruled the Seas – Now He’s Setting His Sights on Your Collection!
On November 22, 1718, Edward Teach died battling the forces of the British Navy. Better known as Blackbeard, he’s believed to have begun his pirating career in 1713, when he joined the crew of fellow pirate Benjamin Hornigold. When Hornigold took a deal offered by the British crown and retired, Teach seized command, captured a French merchant ship, upgraded its 26 guns to 40, renamed it the Queen Anne’s Revenge, and spent the next few years turning himself into a legend.
Struck in a full ounce of 99.99% pure gold, this Blackbeard Matte Proof comes struck in the detailed shape of a pirate skull, complete with bandanna and missing teeth. With a legal-tender value of $200 Palau, it’s enough to make any pirate set sail.
Only 300 of these matte proofs were struck, and the preceding silver version was widely popular with collectors. Get this booty now before another pirate gets to it first!
