1 oz Pieces of Eight Silver Shield Round

One of the first issues in the Silver Shield Collection was a design that highlighted the high toll on human life that precious metals and natural resource exploitation have had in the past 500 years. The North and South American continents were home to flourishing empires long before colonial powers arrived.
