The meaning
A captain thinks ahead, reads the weather and takes responsibility for the crew. A pirate breaks the rules that don't make sense and moves fast. The front of this coin asks you to be both: think carefully, then act boldly.
The back is the other half of the deal. Stay the course and keep the flag: once you choose your direction, don't drop it at the first storm.
The design
The front shows a pirate skull with an eyepatch and tricorn hat over crossed blades. The back is packed with detail: a ship's wheel wrapped in the tentacles of a kraken, a skull and crossbones at the hub, a compass, a treasure chest and a ship under sail.
On good days and hard days
- On good days, it keeps your bold spirit alive and your plans one step ahead.
- On hard days, when the water gets rough, it reminds you to think like a captain, act like a pirate, stay the course and keep the flag.
Carry it
It is a conversation starter. Customers tell us that everyone they show it to wants one; one ordered three more for relatives after they saw it.
Give it
It is a fun gift for a founder, a boat owner, a fishing buddy or a sales team. One customer called it a perfect client giveaway, because the motto says what a good business partner does. For a bigger occasion, there is a 1 oz .999 silver version.
