Up for grabs is an authentic piece of maritime history: a 1658-1805 Indonesia Pitis from the Palembang Sultanate, certified Genuine by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC)! This unique coin comes slabbed in NGC’s highly popular, officially customized "Pirate Money" theme holder, featuring a bold skull and crossbones graphic. These cast tin-alloy coins were minted along the Sumatra trading networks and primarily circulated throughout the highly contested, pirate-dense trade channels of the Strait of Malacca. The signature central hole is completely original and was purposefully cast into the design so merchant sailors and traders could string them together in bulk.
