The Coins of Sealand

The Swedish pro-software piracy group Pirate's Bay has plans to try to acquire the Prinicpality of Sealand in order to use it as a haven to escape international anti-piracy and intellectual property laws. As a result, it seems a safe bet that Sealand will be a fixture of the news in coming months and years. Sealand's coins, issued in fairly small numbers, might be a savvy investment for coin collectors who want to invest in precious metal material for its intrinsic value, but still have something interesting to show the folks at the office once the latest batch of pirates gain control of the Principality of Sealand. Learn about the fascinating history and coinage of Sealand.
