The famous infamous Peso de Ocho, better known as the Spanish Dollar, but best known as the Piece of Eight. The original pirate coin, the model of the US$. After photographs of an original coin minted in Mexico under Philip IV of Spain, 1650 (the peak of the pirate age), it looks "worn", like a coin that has been in circulation some time. At approx. 38mm the model is the size of an original piece of eight (though slightly thicker for printability in plastic).
