Product Description
ANNE BONNY PIRATE QUEENS – 2021 1 oz Pure Silver Premium Bullion Coin in Capsule – Solomon Islands
The first issue of the new Series Pirate Queens is dedicated to Anne Bonny – one of the most notorious female pirates of her time. The motive of the Premium Bullion Coin features the pirate ship of Anne Bonny and John Rackham with hoisted flag from the front. Below the ship is the typical pirate sign – a skull with two crossed infantry swords. The inscription “ANNE BONNY” and the weight and fineness complete the design. The reverse shows the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination and the year of issue. Born in Kinsale, Ireland, in the late 1690s, Anne Bonny was the daughter of Mary Brennan, a maid, and William Cormac, a lawyer. When the affair became public, Cormac, Mary and Anne emigrated to the United States. There, Anne was to be married to a respected merchant before her 20th birthday – but she met and married the sailor John Bonny. Through him she gained her first insights into piracy and was deeply fascinated by the new world that revealed itself to her. When she finally met the pirate John Rackham in today’s Nassau (Bahamas), she left John Bonny to make the seas unsafe together with Rackham. They were later joined by the equally famous female pirate Mary Read. In 1720, the pirate crew was ambushed and overpowered. Rackham was executed, whereas Anne Bonny and Mary Read were initially imprisoned due to alleged pregnancies. Mary Read died there of a fever – the fate of Anne Bonny remains uncertain to this day. The Pirate Queens – Anne Bonny Premium Bullion Coin in Silver is limited to only 10,000 pieces worldwide and is delivered in a protective capsule.
The coins are delivered per 10 in the original roll, per 240 in the original Masterbox.
