Blackbeard - Captain Edward Teach 1 ounce .999 silver coin encapsulated round.
There was never a pirate more fearsome in the Caribbean or Atlantic Ocean than one Edward Teach. Better known to generations of Westerners as Blackbeard, he was not only the most notorious pirate of the Caribbean, but by most measures he was also the most successful. Blackbeard’s treasure is now in reach with the release of the new 1 ounce Blackbeard silver round.
Round Highlights:
Edward Teach was originally born in Bristol, England according to modern genealogists, but is listed as having arrived in Jamaica as a member of the Royal Navy in 1706 under the name Edward Thatch Jr. Teach was originally serving aboard the HMS Windsor during Queen Anne’s War. After jumping from Royal Navy service to piracy, the man who came to be known as Blackbeard would enjoy one of the most successful one-year periods of piracy in human history. So-named for the long, thick black beard covering his face, Blackbeard captured a French frigate he renamed Queen Anne’s Revenge, reinforced it, and armed it with 40 cannons.
During his reign of terror in 1717 and 1718, he captured more than 40 enemy ships. These new Blackbeard silver rounds revive the legend of Blackbeard with one of the most iconic depictions of the man himself. On the obverse of the 1 ounce antique finish Blackbeard silver round is the portrait image of Blackbeard with fuses tied into his beard. Blackbeard did this to intimidate crew members on the ships he attacked, often lighting the fuses before battle so they smoked and spit fire.
Reverse designs on these silver rounds recreate the appearance of Blackbeard’s flag from the Queen Anne’s Revenge. His flag depicted a skeleton toasting a drink with the devil while it speared a heart. While there are no text engravings on the obverse, this side of the round has engravings of Blackbeard’s two known names, as well as the round’s weight, metal content, and purity.
