{"product_id":"pirate-skull-hobo-nickel-coin","title":"Pirate Skull Hobo Nickel Coin – Crossed Swords Collectible","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pirate skull hobo nickel coin is one of the most detailed and characterful pieces in the pirate coin genre. The obverse replaces the classic Morgan dollar portrait with a grinning pirate skull — bandana-wrapped, hollow-eyed, jaw open in a permanent snarl — set against a ship’s wheel with two crossed cutlass swords behind it, the blades extending to the coin’s edge. The rope-twist border frames the scene with the inscription \u003cem\u003eE Pluribus Unum\u003c\/em\u003e arcing across the top, flanked by stars, and the date \u003cem\u003e1890\u003c\/em\u003e bold across the base in classic Morgan dollar style. The reverse carries the full traditional Morgan dollar eagle design — wings spread, olive branch and arrows in its talons, \u003cem\u003eIn God We Trust\u003c\/em\u003e above, \u003cem\u003eUnited States of America\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eOne Dollar\u003c\/em\u003e completing the legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a pirate hobo collectible coin designed for display and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hobo nickel tradition began in the early 20th century when travelling craftsmen carved intricate scenes into Buffalo nickels and Morgan dollars, replacing the original portraits with characters from their imagination. The pirate skull — the Jolly Roger — is one of the most enduring symbols in maritime history, used by pirates from the Golden Age of Piracy in the 17th and 18th centuries to signal no quarter given. The ship’s wheel behind the skull connects the design to the age of sail, when wooden ships and iron men ruled the seas. This coin brings those two traditions together — the folk art of the hobo nickel and the mythology of the pirate — in a single deeply carved antique silver piece that rewards close inspection from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pirate skull with bandana, crossed cutlass swords, ship’s wheel, E Pluribus Unum inscription, dated 1890, Morgan dollar format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morgan dollar eagle, United States of America, In God We Trust, One Dollar inscription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper with antique silver finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 40g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent round plastic protective case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisplayed images show the collectible design and relief detail.
