Replica of the Denix 8 Reales Coin<\/h2>\n

The Pi\u00e8ce de 8 Reales, an essential accessory for your disguise. Invented during the reign of Philip IV in 1635.<\/p>\n

Reales de 8 had a face value of 8 reales in Spain. Coins were often physically cut into eight pieces, or sometimes into four quarters to make a smaller change.<\/p>\n

The value is calculated according to the weight in precious metal. The coin of eight traveled widely in the coffers of Spanish ships for several hundred years, and became the common booty of pirates. A coin of eight was worth 8 silver reals (8 times 1 real).<\/p>\n

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 find places of refuge. This gold currency was a favorite of freebooters.<\/p>\n

The pirates who plagued the Caribbean Sea were sometimes mistakenly 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.<\/p>\n

Contrary to the image spread by cinematic fictions, because of their very way of life, few pirates ate their fill or became rich; most died young in battle.<\/p>\n

The practice of piracy has been predominantly male, but there have also been female pirates. Famous names such as Mary Read and Anne Bonny are known to have sailed with the pirate Jack Rackham.<\/p>\n
