Theme Background

The coin’s reverse portrays Blackbeard, the archetypal blood-thirsty pirate born in England around 1680. His ferocious reputation so terrified merchant crews along the North American coast that most simply surrendered when they encountered him. Blackbeard’s infamous career, however, came to an abrupt end after just two years when he was caught and killed by the Royal Navy.
