Why it stands out
Real heft and real durability. Each coin is larger and heavier than a quarter, so it feels like actual loot in the hand and survives years of game nights.
Skull and ship designs with intricate borders and an antique gold finish, so every coin looks like it came out of a sunken chest.
Board games, tabletop RPGs, cosplay, party favors, scavenger hunts, or a treasure hoarder’s shelf.
Each 5-pack comes individually sleeved in a black velvet bag. An easy gift for gamers, kids, and history fans.
Turns out, there’s no such thing as an official “pirate coin.” The legendary loot pirates are known for was often stolen Spanish currency, like gold doubloons, silver reales, and the iconic “pieces of eight.” These coins weren’t minted by pirates but were taken during raids on ships and ports. Pirates prized them for their high value, especially Spanish coins, which were widely accepted across the seas during the Golden Age of Piracy.
The phrase “pieces of eight” refers to the Spanish dollar, or peso de ocho, which could be physically cut into eight bits. That is where the term “two bits” comes from.
So while pirate coins weren’t unique, they sure inspired legendary tales, and now, legendary tokens. Mythical Mint began with this set in 2017, and it is still the coin that started it all.
