Do you have any anecdotes, fun facts or personal stories around this coin? Please share
Without much thought, the first two coins that pop in my mind are these two little beauties:
A 2.50 and a 5 Portuguese escudos from the 1940s. Honestly, they are not that old but I like how the boat on the front and the Portuguese shield on the back give a pirate like vibe. Both are 0.650 silver, the small weighs 3.5 g and the big one 7. There's also a 10 escudos coin that I will eventually add to my collection!
Here's a size comparison with a modern euro coin:
There's not a really interesting story to share about these two, other than I got em close to spot price due to their shitty condition 😂
Now that I think of it...I have a really old piece that is even more pirate like !
A 2 reales from 1723 that has definitely seen better days! Someone even used it as jewellery at some point 😂😂
Here's how the coin would look like if it was in better condition:
Again, no special story about the coin. Just something I got super cheap due to its poor condition!
And that concludes my submission! Don't forget to check the original post by @welshstacker and participate if you have something old and cool to share!

the real story behind these coins is that Pirates were known to hide these coins up their asses. notice the shit brown tinge , especially prevalent on the right hand side coin.
Woah! Now it makes sense!!!!
epic :)))
Damn! What a story 😂
That coin is on my list to buy. Now I gotta find one….
Good luck fren ❤️
I can't get enough of the boat coins, a nice pair! :)

It was the cute little boats that drew me to them.
I've renamed these silver ships; Saint Marie, Nunavut, and the Pinto.🔥
Hahaha! Your reales look even shittier than mine 😂😂😂
But they were cheap.
Cheap is good ❤️
Hmmm.... I have the exact same ship coins ones, @trumpman! We think alike!!!

All these coins looks so beautiful and amazing. You seem to be a huge silver fan like me, that's why you have collected such old and wonderful coins.
Damn that 1723 looks like it's in pretty good condition for such an old coin I need me an oldy like that
Cool coins. Cheap is good when we're talking silver, eh?
This coins are so nice and beautiful which I must confess.
I may or may not have even older silver coins but that's a no no in my shitty country
Ships and pirates are amazing. Poor condition or not, they are cool.
Okay. I'll find something special for your coins.... Thinking hard 🤔
Haa... Nothing is forthcoming ... Lol.
Well, getting them cheap because of their looks is actually a special thing.... In my opinion 😉
Should it be of silver or it could be any coin?
Pirate Ship design on that coin looks Awesome!
The front looks more like royal one.
