RE: Junk Silver; 1996 Portugal 200 Escudo – Macau Silver coin

in #inleolast month

Very cool! I hope you do get the chance to visit and explore. The Pirate Queen did very well for herself, she commanded a huge fleet at the height of her career. Do you have any silver from the region in that date range?

That would be a challenge to find anything attributable to Ching Shih. Finding something from that Era wouldn't be too difficult since what coinage that circulated at the time are by far are the bronze cast coins usually small denomination used in daily every day commerce. And the majority of Booty taken in by the Red Flag fleet are in the form of goods and commodities. Seldom silver that were most often on Ming warships and trade ships.

I have managed to piece together a small collection of Chinese silver. A modern replica Sycee at the top left, Center; unknown vintage? silver Sycee needing further investigation.

I imagine anything directly tied to her would be outlandishly expensive. The one in the center there is really cool, if you figure out the vintage let me know!
