2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Henry Avery

Henry Avery — also recorded as Every — pulled off what remains arguably the most lucrative single pirate raid in history when he took the Mughal treasure ship Ganj-i-Sawai in 1695, triggering a diplomatic crisis that nearly severed England's East India Company from Indian trade entirely. The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb briefly imprisoned Company factors in retaliation. Avery was never caught, and his ultimate fate is unknown — he simply vanished, possibly in Ireland or the American colonies.
