You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Another Pirates of the Caribbean silver mint, but Disney has not done justice with the caricature of Sao Feng's bust. It seems the minting die could not draw exact details.

You wrote a nice historical background of the Empress junk. Awesome..

That's why I think that the ship should be solely on the reverse, and Pirate Queen Elizabeth Swann should be on the obverse rather than that old English hag Elizabeth Regina II. IF the mint could doll up Queen ER II, they can do the same for Captain Elizabeth Swann since taking over command of the Empress from Captain Feng.
For the gory details of the Ning Po there is a good YT Video

Thanks for coming aboard @emaxisonline

I think the queen's bust is a requirement for Niue coins, that's why it has been given more space than Swann herself.
Disney should have hired more experienced artist to make good use of space provided for the ship and Swann.

I saw the video, it has some interesting information, such as after captured by British Navy, pirates won her again in the auction, lol, sounds like a myth to me.

Wish you a lovely midweek ..
