Treasure Island (originally titled The Sea Cook: A Story for Boys):

This is an adventure and historical novel by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. It was published in 1883, and tells a story of "buccaneers and buried gold" set in the 1700s

It is considered a coming-of-age story and is noted for its atmosphere, characters, and action.

The novel was originally serialised from 1881 to 1882 in the children's magazine "Young Folks" under the title "Treasure Island" (or the Mutiny of the Hispaniola, credited to the pseudonym "Captain George North"). 

It was first published as a book on 14.11.1883 by Cassell & Co. It has since become one of the most-often dramatised and adapted novels.

Since its publication Treasure Island has significantly influenced depictions of pirates in popular culture, including elements such as deserted tropical islands, treasure maps marked with an "X", and one-legged seamen with parrots perched on their shoulders.

The entire pirate adventures story which is encapsulated within the “TREASURE ISLAND” coin, filled with elements of tension, action, and intrigue.

Pictures of fierce battles, with swords clashing and cannons roaring, as each pirate fights tooth and nail for the coveted riches. 

Amidst the chaos and danger, alliances are forged and betrayals revealed. Friendships are tested, and loyalties questioned.

Experience a rush of excitement as the pirate protagonists uncover a golden treasure on this intricately designed collectible coin. 

Traps laid by ancient guardians, puzzles hidden in the jungle, and the ever-present threat of betrayal test their resolve at every turn. But will they prevail against such guiles?

Treasure Island Coin is a true work of professional art. High relief, impressive detailing, selective gilding, and attention to details will take one on an impressive journey!
