Next time you read about the great pirates of long ago, Henry Morgan, Edward Teach (Blackbeard), John Rackham (Calico Jack), Mary Read, Anne Bonny and many others, these were the coins that drove their raiding and pillaging of land and sea! Even the great, and often maligned, “pirate hunter” Captain William Kidd used these coins to purchase rum and wine for his crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrudely minted \"cob\" coins - short for cabo de barra, or \"end of the bar,\" each has its own unique shape. These hand-hammered, silver pieces of history are some of the most intriguing and beautiful coins ever minted. And because each coin was minted by hand, they are one of a kind. Unlike a machine minted coin, it is impossible for anyone else to posses a coin exactly like yours!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYour Spanish Cob Treasure Coin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate: 1688 - rare visible date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDenomination: 1\/2 Reale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMint: Potosi, Upper Peru (present day Bolivia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssayer: not visible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuler: King Charles II of Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoin Metal: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBezel Metal: Proprietary non-tarnishing sterling silver \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObverse (Front): Jerusalem Cross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse: (Back): The Pillars and Waves\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eArticulating Bail Interior Diameter: Will accommodate chain necklace up to 5.5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePendant size including bezel: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e 5\/8\" Across, 1\" Tall - Pendant the diameter of a dime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #990000;\"\u003eRobert's Notes: Rare visible three digit 688 date.
