The Pièce Doublon d'Or 2.5cm is an essential accessory for your costume. Invented in Seville during the reign of Felipe II between 1556-1598. In Spain, doubloons were legal coins until the mid-19th century.
The doublon (also called excellent) was a Spanish gold coin that equaled two shields or 32 reales, and weighed 6.77 grams. The term "doublon" was first used to describe excellent gold, perhaps because it was worth two ducats or the double portrait of the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella.
Pirates tried (and often succeeded) to steal precious cargoes of gold, silver and other products from the New World, which presented an ideal business for its abundance of islands where pirates could take refuge. This gold currency was a favorite of freebooters.
The pirates who plagued the Caribbean Sea were sometimes improperly referred to as buccaneers. Pirates are distinguished from privateers, who are civilians waging war on the sea with the authorization of their government, according to the laws of war, with a status equivalent to that of the military.
Contrary to the image spread by cinematographic fictions, because of their very way of life, few pirates ate their fill or became rich; most died young in battle.
The practice of piracy was predominantly male, but female pirates did exist. Famous names such as Mary Read and Anne Bonny are known to have sailed with pirate Jack Rackham.
