Pirate Roberts Coin in Solid Copper
Take no prisoners...
The Golden Age of Piracy saw the rise of The Great Pyrate, Bartholomew Roberts. A scourge of the Atlantic, Roberts and his crew terrorized hundreds of ships aboard the Royal Fortune. One only had to glimpse the infamous Jolly Roger flag and a dash of scarlet coattails on the ocean's horizon to know that they were next.
☠ Solid copper
☠ 8.2 grams
☠ 2.4 centimeters in diameter
Though "Black Bart" Roberts never minted any of his own doubloons, we like to think this Pirate Robert Copper coin comes pretty close! Its design is struck in very high relief, so no sailor will ever overlook the grisly visage it depicts.
This coin is treated to look as if it has been handled and circulated between many pirates' treasure chests. This process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science. Coloring and patinas will vary. No two coins are exactly the same! Coins are struck in the USA using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. A colorful description is included with history and facts about the coin.

Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
Being a huge fan of the Princess Bride getting hold of this Dread Pirate coin was a must buy. As with my other Shire Mint coins the quality of the design and manufacturing is incredible. Shire Mint produce some of the best EDC coins around.
Fun coin—I think of "The Princess Bride" book & movie each time I see it. I like the very 3-dimensional nature of this coin. Thanks, SPM.
Great looking coin and great design, makes me wonder if it’s not the real deal
The countdown to Christmas is almost over and I can not wait until my husband opens his gift! The coin is perfect, small yet well made, and carrying nostalgia to make a perfect keepsake.
