Product Description
CHING SHIH PIRATE QUEENS – 2021 1 oz Pure Silver Premium Bullion Coin in Capsule – Solomon Islands – Royal Australian Mint
The second issue of the new Series Pirate Queens is dedicated to the Chinese pirate Ching Shih – one of the most notorious and deadly pirates of her time. The motive of the Premium Bullion Coin from the Royal Australian Mint features the pirate ship of Ching Shih with hoisted flag. A majestic phoenix draws a circle around the ship with its tail. The inscription “CHING SHIH” and the weight and fineness complete the design. The reverse shows the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the denomination and the year of issue. Ching Shih was born Shih Yang in 1775 in a poverty-ridden society in Guangdong Province, China. To supplement her family’s income, she worked as a prostitute from an early age before marrying the pirate Zheng Yi and building a strong fleet of some 1,200 ships to sail the world’s oceans. A considerable 80,000 men were under her command – the famous pirate Blackbeard, on the other hand, commanded only a few thousand men and about 300 ships. The Pirate Queens – Ching Shih 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.
