2022 Tuvalu 5 oz Silver Black Flag: The Rising Sun
The 2022 release in the widely collected Black Flag series from The Perth Mint depicts William Moody’s infamous ship, The Rising Sun. Moody was a pirate notorious for his public raiding and burning of numerous ships throughout the Caribbean from 1718 to 1719. Soon after his reign of terror became feared across the seas, Captain Moody’s crew rebelled against him due to his treatment of the sailors on his ship. The crew made Moody, and his few remaining supporters, get into a small boat and set sail without them – leaving them stranded forever. Captain Moody was never seen again and presumed lost at sea.
