Aztec Coin

This detailed pin depicts the iconic Aztec Gold coin, a central plot device from the 2006 film 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest'. The design features a weathered, antique-gold tone finish, capturing the cursed appearance of the cursed Aztec treasure that plays a pivotal role in the franchise. As an Open Edition (OE) release from the Disney Store (DS), this pin was released on June 26, 2006, to coincide with the highly anticipated theatrical debut of the second film in the series. The coin showcases a prominent skull at its center, surrounded by intricate Mayan-inspired etchings and a spiked, circular border that mirrors the movie prop exactly. Collectors value this piece for its connection to the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film series, which revitalized interest in pirate-themed merchandise across all Disney parks. Because it is an Open Edition pin, it served as an accessible entry point for fans to commemorate the cinematic expansion of the attraction-based franchise. The pin's realistic, aged metal aesthetic makes it a standout piece for those building a themed collection around Captain Jack Sparrow and his supernatural adventures. Its design remains a recognizable symbol of the curse that haunted Captain Barbossa and his crew throughout the early years of the film saga.
