What Is A Doubloon?
The doubloon was a Spanish coin used from the mid 16th to mid 19th centuries. It was stamped from gold and hence is commonly referred to as a "gold piece". It weighed just under one ounce and was made from 22 karat (almost pure) gold. Although the doubloon was a Spanish coin it was widely used in the West Indies and South America. Being made from almost pure gold it also had value in any other country even where it wasn't legal tender. Since much of the piracy that took place was between English and Spanish privateers, Spanish gold doubloons often formed English pirate booty.
