5 Dollars - Elizabeth II Charles Vane

Charles Vane was one of the more intractable pirates of the Caribbean's early eighteenth-century golden age — notable partly for refusing to accept the 1718 royal pardon that lured most of his contemporaries ashore. He was eventually captured, tried in Jamaica, and hanged in 1721. The Bahamas, as the former base of operations for Vane and his contemporaries under the pirate haven of Nassau, has periodically leaned into that history for collector coin programs.

KM#160 is part of a broader Bahamian silver series commemorating figures from the archipelago's piratical past. Mintage figures for the series were modest.
