The artwork was done by Thea in our Graphics department and then sent to Mercury Engraving in London to be acid etched in copper. The front and back were etched separately. When assembled these would form a good base for the coin.
On their return the coins were polished with jewellers rouge on a rag polishing wheel and then sent to Manny Gold at City Plating to be plated in a beautiful mellow gold, the tone matching a sample supplied by Charles Stewart the prop master.
There is a scene towards the end of the film where the last remaining coin is thrown into a chest filled with the rest of the treasure. In the same scene Barbossa raises an Aztec dagger with a knapped flint blade.
This is great I love the detail about the Aztec dagger. It looks extraordinary but how do you cut eggshell? What amazes me is all the attention to detail and then for how many seconds is it actually seen on screen? I like the patterns on the back of the coins did they come from anywhere in particular or were they made up?
This is really cool! Im curious, did you make the chest for the gold aswell, or just the coins? If you did could you tell me what material was used for it? Im researching this for a uni project and it would be useful to know
Thank you for getting in touch. We did make a lot of things for the film but not the chest with the coins. It could have been made by someone else or more likely it was hired for use on the film. Film companies are loath to spend their money on having props made to order when items are available to hire at a fraction of the cost.
The level of detail is amazing! Im curious, did you make the chest as well, or just the gold coins? If so, what material did you use to make it? Im researching this for a project for uni, and it would be a big help to know,
thank you and best wishes!

Admiral's starter deck is very well rounded when it comes to attack damage, defenses balance. If you collect enough money, your attack and armor cards will scale proportionally. Upgrading Ammo or two as your first priority in order to use all cards no matter which turn and keep your ammo economy healthy. Upgrading Ammo is also a risk if you upgrade it early on. Every completed battle rewards you with 17-23 coins. Prioritize on grabbing relics or any cards that draws from your deck such as Bookmark or Block which does not add junk cards to your deck when you would rather draw Admiral cards. It costs 25 coins to refresh the rewards screen so make the decision if you wish to lose a battle's worth of coins for not grabbing junk cards to place in your deck. A balance between grabbing junk cards and keeping existing Admiral cards strong, or losing overall coins buff for more consistency.
The Lucky Coin is an extremely rare Hardmode accessory that while equipped causes enemies to drop extra coins when damaged. The Lucky Coin is dropped by pirates during a Pirate Invasion at a rate of 0.025*1/4000 (0.025%), from the Pirate Captain at a rate of 0.1*1/1000 (0.1%) or from the Flying Dutchman at a rate of 0.5*1/200 (0.5%). It is not dropped by Parrots. The Lucky Coin can also be obtained from Shimmer Transmutation with the Discount Card
With the Lucky Coin equipped, there is a 20*1/5 (20%) chance that 1 to 10 extra coins will drop each time the player damages an enemy. Each time extra coins drop, the following probabilities determine the coin type:
The Spanish dollar (also known as the piece of eight, the real de a ocho, the eight-real coin, or peso) was a silver coin, of approximately 38 mm diameter, worth eight reales, that was minted in the Spanish Empire after a Spanish currency reform in 1497.
When the pirate Ragetti lost his right eye, he received 300 pieces of eight as a compensation.[3] The infamous pirate James Sterling wore a Piece of eight around his neck. That coin was all that was left of his father's earthly wealth.[4]
In 1751,[5] when Henry Turner needed help to free the notorious pirate Jack Sparrow and the astronomer Carina Smyth from the British authorities on the island of Saint Martin, he hired Sparrow's former crew, giving the pirates ten silver pieces.[6]
The pirate world's rules of distribution say that the most senior pirate first proposes a plan of distribution. The pirates, including the proposer, then vote on whether to accept this distribution. If the majority accepts the plan, the coins are disbursed and the game ends. In case of a tie vote, the proposer has the casting vote. If the majority rejects the plan, the proposer is thrown overboard from the pirate ship and dies, and the next most senior pirate makes a new proposal to begin the system again. The process repeats until a plan is accepted or if there is one pirate left.[1]
To increase the chance of their plan being accepted, one might expect that Pirate A will have to offer the other pirates most of the gold. However, this is far from the theoretical result. When each of the pirates votes, they will not just be thinking about the current proposal, but also other outcomes down the line. In addition, the order of seniority is known in advance so each of them can accurately predict how the others might vote in any scenario. This becomes apparent if we work backwards.
If there are three left (C, D and E), C knows that D will offer E 0 in the next round; therefore, C has to offer E one coin in this round to win E's vote. Therefore, when only three are left the allocation is C:99, D:0, E:1.
(In the previous round, one might consider proposing B:99, C:0, D:0, E:1, as E knows it won't be possible to get more coins, if any, if E throws B overboard. But, as each pirate is eager to throw the others overboard, E would prefer to kill B, to get the same amount of gold from C.)
The solution follows the same general pattern for other numbers of pirates and/or coins. However, the game changes in character when it is extended beyond there being twice as many pirates as there are coins. Ian Stewart wrote about Steve Omohundro's extension to an arbitrary number of pirates in the May 1999 edition of Scientific American and described the rather intricate pattern that emerges in the solution.[2]
Another way to see this is to realize that every pirate M will have the vote of all the pirates from M/2 + 1 to M out of self preservation since their survival is secured only with the survival of the pirate M. Because the highest ranking pirate can break the tie, the captain only needs the votes of half of the pirates over 2G, which only happens each time (2G + a Power of 2) is reached. For instance, with 100 gold pieces and 500 pirates, pirates #500 through #457 die, and then #456 survives (as 456 = 200 + 28) as they have the 128 guaranteed self-preservation votes of pirates #329 through #456, plus 100 votes from the pirates they bribe, making up the 228 votes that they needs. The numbers of pirates past #200 who can guarantee their survival as captain with 100 gold pieces are #201, #202, #204, #208, #216, #232, #264, #328, #456, #712, etc.: they are separated by longer and longer strings of pirates who are doomed no matter what division they propose.
Though the Dread Pirate Roberts never made any of his own coinage, we think he could have made coins that looked like this! This heavy copper coin is dated 1721 and features grinning a pirate's face with a blade in his teeth. On the reverse, a skull and crossbones and the inscription, TNP for Take No Prisoners. The coin that never was for pirate legend Bartholomew Roberts, Black Bart, the Dread Pirate Roberts. Perfect for any pirate hoard.
Being a huge fan of the Princess Bride getting hold of this Dread Pirate coin was a must buy. As with my other Shire Mint coins the quality of the design and manufacturing is incredible. Shire Mint produce some of the best EDC coins around.
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
Armed with a metal detector in 2014, Jim Bailey unearthed a small, silver coin about the size of an American dime. It has Arabic etchings on its faces and historians say it is from the 1690s and belonged, at one time, to the infamous pirate Henry Every.
"The bulk of these coins all went to the local silversmith," said Bailey. "They went into the crucible and they were all melted down and then wound up on everybody's dinner table in the form of plates, cups...this is one that fell out of the bag before it got to the local silversmith's shop."
If 50% or more of the pirates vote for it, then the coins will be shared that way. Otherwise, the pirate proposing the scheme will be thrown overboard, and the process is repeated with the pirates that remain.
As pirates tend to be a bloodthirsty bunch, if a pirate would get the same number of coins if he voted for or against a proposal, he will vote against so that the pirate who proposed the plan will be thrown overboard.
4 Pirates: Billy splits the coins 99 : 0 : 1 : 0. By the same reasoning as before, Duncan will support this deal. Billy would not waste a spare coin on Colin, because Colin knows that if he rejects the proposal, he will pocket 99 coins once Billy is thrown overboard. Billy would also not give a coin to Eddie, because Eddie knows that if he rejects the proposal, he will receive a coin from Colin in the next round anyway.
(Note: In the final deal Alex would not give a coin to Billy, who knows he can pocket 99 coins if he votes against Alex's proposal and Alex goes overboard. Likewise, Alex would not give a coin to Duncan, because Duncan knows that if he votes against the proposal, Alex will be voted overboard and Billy will propose to offer Duncan the same single coin as Alex. All else equal, Duncan would rather see Alex go overboard and collect his one coin from Billy.)
