Handmade from over 100 year old Wrought Iron Anchor Chain this is one very unique piece.  Unlike modern steel, Wrought Iron is made entirely of pure iron.  It is made by repeatedly heating and reworking cast iron.  This process gives wrought iron a laminar stucture just like Damascus.  It has far higher tensile strength and is more ductile than cast iron but it is a costly material to manufacture.  That is why wrought iron production ceased in the 1970's.  Aside from being made from such awesome old wrought, it was an Anchor chain!  Who knows what this piece have chain has seen... Also not all wrought is the same.  This Anchor chain is known as "puddle wrought."  It is the most desired due to the pattern found in the steel!  Again looks just like a random pattern damascus.  One of these links weighs over 40lbs each!  The coin has been sliced from the link, surface ground, and shaped into a perfect circle.  After taking the coin to a fine surface finish It then receives over 4 hours of deep laser engraving.  This coin features my skull and bones mark as well as anchor/Pirate Forge engravings.  After engraving this coin then goes for several cycles of acid etching/handsanding to come up with the final result you see.  The unique pattern and layers of the wrought iron is clearly visible.  Also, this coin will only improve with age and carry.  The oils on your hand as well as being carried in your pocket will continue to enhance the look and feel of this one of a kind piece.
