Gold & Silver Bank Note: Captain Thomas Cocklyn and the Bird Galley

in #hive-16792222 days ago

I bring to you once again The Excelsior Collection, Inc, and this is part of The Saga of Treasure Ships and Pirates, the 1987 23-Karat Gilded Banknote collection from Antigua & Barbuda.

It is the official legal-tender gold and silver banknotes of Antigua
have been authorized by the Government of Antigua.


Antigua & Barbuda 23-Karat Gilded Bank Note: Captain Thomas Cocklyn and the Bird Galley

BanknoteCockly1.jpg

The immense detail in Captain Thomas Cocklyn and the Bird Galley, caught my attention. Like every other banknote I own, this one is made of 999 pure silver with a 23-karat gold background that shimmers. This collection is so remarkable because of the details.

The front of the banknote and details

Thomas Cocklyn, an English pirate, was well-known for his alliances with Howell Davis and, subsequently, Olivier Levasseur. After leaving the pirate refuge of Nassau on the island of New Providence in the British-controlled Bahamas, he was chosen as captain in 1717. His early years and most of his adventures are poorly documented.

Together with Davis and La Buse, Cocklyn and his men are known to have assisted in the seizure of the British slave ship Bird Galley at the mouth of the Sierra Leone River on April 1, 1719.

The Bird Galley became the pirate Thomas Cocklyn's flagship and he renamed her the Windham Galley.

The reverse of banknote and details:

Sir Francis Drake and the Golden Hind
Captain Thomas Cocklyn and the Bird Galley

This collector album incorporate 30 different banknotes and folio. The stunning collection of artwork that depicts each pirate ship minted on each banknote was commissioned by none other than Alan D'Estrehan, one of the world's foremost marine artists at the time of issue. The captivating stories that accompany each piece of gold & silver artwork were penned by Canadian historian and author, Christopher Moore. Each detailed banknote is struck in solid Pure 23k gold and.999 silver and comes in the official blue leatherette binder and slipcase.

Absolutely stunning how the tall ship in silver, stands out against a background of Gold @silversaver888 !🤗👍
Beautiful bank note and legal tender !👍😊

I think so myself, @silvertop 🤗!
Aside from the fact that they are pirate themed, which is a plus, the design is embossed!
!BBH
!LADY

I definitely like the idea that it is embossed @silversaver888, that makes the silver bar that much more dramatic!👍🤗😊

What an interesting story linked to a pirate and then to a piece of silver and gold, to immortalize it, it is an impressive collection.

The Excelsior Collection and the 1987 23-Karat Gilded Banknote collection from Antigua & Barbuda are all about The Saga of Treasure Ships and Pirates! They are so beautiful and full of history!

Interesting Info on the Flowing Hair Medal that just came out........ I believe you told me that you were getting one since you have a Subscription to the US Mint.

The Mint has actually produced less than the 75,000 Mintage Limit ! More Scarce that way.

Lovely notes Sis, I have a few examples of these fine pieces, yet they feel fragile and delicate to handle compared to the Goldbacks. I hope you can complete the set.

Always, with love 🤗🌺❤️
