I Picked up this Antigua & Barbuda Rum Runner pirate ship 1oz Silver coin from Scottsdale Mint - a premium on their coins, they're known for their quality.
Scottsdale Mint
Mint coin shrink wrapped package from Scottsdale Mint - a private mint located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Scottsdale Mint is a well known manufacturer and distributor of silver and gold bullion coins, rounds, and bars - known for their high quality metals and craftsmanship.
Antigua & Barbuda
Antigua & Barbuda is a string of islands country, named after the two largest islands - located where the Atlantic and Caribbean oceans meet. The islands are known for their reefs, rainforests, resorts, beaches, and traditional rum. This coin features a rum running pirate ship, used to transport their beloved spirit (Source).
Antigua & Barbuda 1oz Coin
This Antigua & Barbuda Run Runner 1oz coin from the Scottsdale Mint is .999 fine silver. The Ship Side features an 18th century pirate ship at sea, with it's cannons set in the firing position.
Along the top curve of the coin is the text "ANTIGUA & BARBUDA", just below that, on the right side is the year "2020".
The Queen Side features the head side profile of Queen Elizabeth II, in the center, facing to the right, and flanked by a wreath on both sides.
The top round of the coin has the text "EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK", the bottom curve of the coin has the text "1 OZ .999 SILVER QUEEN ELIZABETH II TWO DOLLARS".
A fine silver coin for the seaworthy stack. "Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning." (Source).
I sometimes hanker for a nip of fine Rum, a spirit derived from the Molasses left over from refining sugar from cane. The Caribbean islands are well know suppliers of the beverage to pirates and naval ships. I have a different year Antigua Barbuda Rum Runner.

The high seas - new frontier adventure, trade, and piracy. You have some sweet versions of the coins with the rum barrel view of the ship from the shoreline, very nice, I'll be sure to look out for the rum runner varieties :)
You can’t go wrong with anything from the Scottsdale Mint. Those rum runners are great
Up until this post I was thinking Scottsdale was a Scotland mint with the queen and all lol.. Scottsdale AZ private co. minting up some Commonwealth coins, nice :D
Beautiful coin and a nice little setup with the chest and skull inside and that other vintage looking thing inside
Thanks, when I picked up the calico jack coin I figured it was time to put a little treasure box together for the seaworthy stacks :)
Nice touch
