Piracy has been a part of maritime history for as long as people have sailed the seas, with records dating back to Ancient Greece and references in Homer’s works describing raids along coastal settlements. The “Golden Age of Piracy” (circa 1650-1730) is the most well-known period, featuring legendary figures such as Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Bartholomew Roberts, who operated in the Caribbean, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean. Now, you can own a piece of pirate lore with the 2025 2 oz Antique Niue Silver Black Diamond Coin, available online at BullionMax.

The obverse of the 2025 2 oz Antique Silver Black Diamond Coin showcases the Public Seal of Niue. Surrounded by a detailed pirate-inspired border, the seal itself sits at the center, depicting native Niuean flora encircled by 14 seashells. A sovereign crown rests atop the seal, signifying Niue’s connection to the Commonwealth.

On the reverse of the 2025 Antique Niue Silver Black Diamond Coin, a skeletal pirate is featured, his eyes locked onto the glass bottle he holds. Inside the bottle, a ghostly black sailing ship appears, adding to the eerie atmosphere. Behind him, a parrot wearing an eye patch perches on a wooden chest, gripping a map beneath its talons. The ground beneath the pirate is scattered with coins, doubloons, and treasures of the sea.

Pirates came from a variety of backgrounds, including former naval sailors, escaped merchant crew members, and colonial rebels who rejected imperial rule. While often depicted as outlaws, many pirate crews had structured codes of conduct, elected captains, and even compensation systems for injured crew members—practices that were ahead of their time compared to many formal navies.

Each 2025 2 oz Antique Niue Silver Black Diamond Coin is housed in a secure capsule and presented in a black display box. These coins include a Certificate of Authenticity and feature an antique finish, along with selective applications of 24-karat gold and colorization on the reverse.
