Pirate & Shipwreck Treasure Coins
The wreck of the Consolacion in 1681
The Consolacion, a Spanish Armada del Sur (South Sea Armada) galleon, was lost in 1681 after striking a reef near Guayaquil Ecuador. A delay in receiving silver coins from the mint in Potosi prevented the Santa Maria de la Consolacion from sailing with the rest of the armada from Callao, Chile. When the lone ship met pirates, the captain decided to ground the Consolacion on Santa Clara island, nicknamed Isla de Muerto (Island of the Dead), but struck a reef in the process. The vessel was evacuated and intentionally set on fire by the crew to prevent the plunder of treasure; Consolacion coins are thus true pirate treasure coins.
Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity & history.

East India Company Pistol!

Pistol used by the British during the height of imperial supremacy and piracy on the "seven seas". An early 1820's flintlock pistol retrofitted to percussion in 1867, this gun saw a lot of use for a very long period of time. A .65 caliber EIG East India Company percussion pistol. Barrel, lock, trigger and hammer in white metal; trigger guard, butt, and ramrod keeper in brass. Lockplate stamped with a Crown and "EIG", the date 1867 and "Birmingham". The pistol is complete with capture rod and lanyard ring. The trigger maintains a strong pull. The stock has been refinished and the metal is a bit pitted and rough, common for metal which has seen extended use in salty sea air. A fantastic piece with rich history! Ex-Heritage Auctions. #52632: $2600
