| Additional information |
Queen Anne's Revenge was the flagship of Edward Teach — Blackbeard — captured from French slavers in 1717 and converted into a 40-gun warship that dominated the Caribbean and Atlantic seaboard for less than two years before Blackbeard ran her aground off Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina in 1718, almost certainly deliberately, to downsize his fleet and shed crew. The wreck was located in 1996 and has been under active archaeological excavation by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources ever since, recovering cannons, anchors, and personal effects still being conserved today.
Perth Mint issued this coin under its legal tender framework through the Niue arrangement, a standard mechanism for Australian bullion issues carrying numismatic premiums. One troy ounce of four-nines gold.
