La Princesa was a Spanish register ship captured by British privateers off Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, in 1743 — one of the more lucrative prizes of the War of Austrian Succession's Pacific theater. The taking vessel was the Centurion, under Commodore George Anson, whose circumnavigation of the globe was already the stuff of Admiralty legend by the time he limped into Macao with his single surviving ship and a hold full of Spanish silver.
Tuvalu's late-1990s commemorative program leaned heavily on maritime history subjects, largely because the island nation's licensing arrangements with the Perth Mint made such themed issues commercially viable exports rather than coins intended for any domestic monetary use.
