4 doubloons - Pirate Bartholomew Roberts

Gabrisnote is the personal fantasy note project of Slovak designer and collector Matej Gabris, whose output sits somewhere between novelty art print and collector's item. Optys Printing House, a Czech commercial printer with a solid reputation in specialty print runs, handles the physical production — the pairing gives these pieces a finish that puts them well above the average hobbyist fantasy note.

The "doubloon" denomination is a nod to the Spanish gold coin of the colonial era, the currency that made the Caribbean worth fighting over. Bartholomew Roberts — "Black Bart" — was the most prolific pirate of the Golden Age by captured prizes, taking over 400 vessels between 1719 and his death in battle off Cape Lopez in 1722.
