Plus a show and tell t’ boot!

I had been given the honor of claiming the Second Place Prize two months earlier and now I was given the privilege of claiming the top Silverton Prize this time around.

” Twas ‘eartwarming momen’ when th’ Keptin gave me th’prize wit an ‘earty salu’. Th’ crew sang ‘Scotland th’ Brave’, the blue and white flag flyin’ proud in th’wind t’ th’ thunderin’ o’ a broadside. I owes it t’ yea Spiney fer me t’ be a fine mucker as ye taught me!”

1Well shiver me timbers, An RMC round as the grand Prize! Didn’t Republic closed business several months ago?

If any of you have been following @joshuaslane 's interactive Silver Adventures you may already have an idea of his blogging style. Learning the language is part of the added depth and charm of this adventure as I myself enjoy a well thought out Role play.

Added is the Incentive to encourage to "enroll" just by participating by upvoting or better yet Comment and it may just be written into the Adventure and he'll even translate it into the proper idiom. The Silverton Prize is a full one ounce of bullion silver; second place is a half-ounce, and finally a quarter-ounce for third.

It’s better than being bribed into service in taking the 'King's Shilling or the uncouth act of being volunteered by a Press gang, the 'Keptin' respects individual liberty. Now what can say liberty than Silver in your hand? Thank you Keptin Joshua Slane and a pleasure to be at your service!

And have I got more to show! Something I borrowed from my Stacking friend for this article.

1Seychelles Commemorative 100 Rupee

The reverse featuring a pair of White-tailed Tropic birds denote the Fiat value of 100 Rupee that is equivalent to $9.60 CAD at the time of this article. A product of the Royal Mint and a total mintage of this beautiful coin are a mere 8,528 coins! Definitely worth more than the fiat value this coin has 31.6 grams of 0.925 Sterling Silver or 29.3 net grams silver.

1Obverse is the Seychelles Coat of Arms and year of issue.

To be up to date with Captain Joshua Slane’s latest Silver adventures episode the Keptin’s current tour of duty takes us to vicinity of the Gulf of Aden and North of the Seychelles islands and a confrontation with the Jinn. Also catch up and be familiar with his Current contest, rules and updates. Yes, another three Silvers are up for grabs!

1An old and fairly rare 1966 Seychelles 5 Rupee banknote

Today the Seychelles archipelago, or more accurately the Republic of Seychelles, established in 1976, is a collection of 115 islands located in the Indian Ocean just north and by northeast of Madagascar. There is a population of 94,000 people spread over on just 459 sq. kilometers.

While this region has plenty of political, environmental and of course current day Pirate issues, with over a hundred islands here there could still dwell plenty of old tales about old Pirate hijinks lurking about from the local Island Hopping tours.

12013 Turqoise 10 Rupee Note now demonetized since Sept 2018

And according to an archeological study there have been a pirate presence before the English, French colonial even before any permanent settlements at times prior. Since there's yet to be any historical research we can afford a wee bit o' creative license.

12013 Violet 25 Rupee Note now demonetized since Sept 2018

Perhaps the ghosts of the past can still whisper one tale of a ship named The Silverton under the command of one Captain Joshua Slane two hundred and fifty years ago.

12013 Olive green 50 Rupee Note now demonetized since Feb 2018

I wish to thank my friend, stacking mentor, and neighbor Punky’s Dad for loaning me these lovely Seychelles currency and coin from his collection and to let you know I will be showing more of ‘His’ Collection here for your enjoyment.

1And the ‘Backsides!”
