Are there any silver coins with this design?

Found this in a roll today and really like the design. Did they ever make silver ones cause if so I need to get a few?

They made silver $10 (crown size) proofs in 1980 and 1981 that are close to the same design.

 

I guess that one can assemble a list of coins (real and NCLT) which have Sir Francis Drake's ship the Golden Hind on them.

 

If I recall correctly, the 2 1/2 Escudo has such a ship. (Portugal).

I have a similar coin here.. I always loved this design, I think the coin tells the story...

 

Awesome, I looked both those up and they're expensive but do have the design I'm looking for. Thanks everyone

 

No. Not for circulation, at least. If any silver commemoratives were minted for the ECS, I'm not aware of them.

 

I like east Caribbean coins, 1950s through 70 or so. If your into ships like that, Britain has a half penny with a ship from the 30s or 40s to the 60s I think.

 

In Portuguese coins there are mainly two types:

Silver (.650) in denominations of 2.50, 5 and 10 escudos



Copper- nickel in denominations of 2.50, 5 and 10 escudos


Still remembrance of the Discovery (Glory) days of Portugal.

 

Eastern Caribbean dollars, the national currency of Grenada. All clad I believe. The old dollars are brass, and some of the fractional currency is aluminum. I had quite a few of them from when I was living there. I also spent quite a few, 5 EC$ would get you a Carib beer most anywhere.
