This coin struck during the "Golden Age" of piracy in Europe. It was land-found at the site of a late Medieval seaport in Spain, where pirates were believed to have raided Spanish galleons for their riches. Although it is impossible to prove exactly who may have handled these coins, it was the standard currency at the time and have been found at known pirate sites, including the famous Oak Island site.
