The Privateer Series of silver rounds from Elemetal Mint was introduced in early 2015 and features 2 oz. silver rounds produced with a stunning ultra-high-relief finish. These silver rounds have impressive 3D imagery celebrating a life at sea, whether it is that of legitimate sailors or scurvy pirates.
In this 4th release in the Privateer Series, one of the most fearsome monsters of the seven seas is featured in the design. The Kraken, rumored to plague oceans the world over from the tales of Odysseus in Homers Illiad to the tales of Caribbean pirates in the 17th and 18th centuries, is believed to lurk the depths of the ocean waiting to strike any sailors that wander across its path.
On the obverse of the 2 oz Elemetal Privateer The Kraken Ultra High Relief Silver Round youll find the image of a krakens massive tentacles emerging from the water to ensnare a passing galleon. There are no engravings on this face other than the frightening image of death that comes from the kraken.
The reverse features the common design theme of all Privateer Series rounds. In this design you’ll notice a human skull set against a backdrop of a ships wheel. The pirate motto No Prey, No Pay is found above the design, with the rounds weight, metal content, and purity struck below.
Regarding
CERTIFICATES OF AUTHENTICITY
:
Per one of my very kind repeat buyer’s request and recommendation, I have been including a document that certifies that the antique finish on each one of my silver coins or silver rounds listed, has been applied and burnished by me personally. I will sign and date one certificate for each coin or round sold. Although this process is not “rocket science” each person has their own methods and techniques that differentiate themselves from others. Whether mine is better is totally subjective. I have shown this certificate in my last photos. (Note that these may change or improve in the future) This has been updated again as of October 9
th
, 2020 to include the “Simply Fine Silver” logo on the upper left corner and an overall new design by Alberto Mendoza who also created the SFS logo and who specializes in 3 D designs. Thus far my buyers want this document, therefore I will continue to include it.
Note About my “
Custom Antique Finish System”.
This is a chemical process that darkens the silver and then I expose the higher relief areas as I see fit. This is not a layer of something applied to the silver. His is identical to the systems used by the major bullion dealers on all their coins and rounds. The method and degree of burnishing is what sets me apart from others in my opinion.
