Aztec Coin Set  SBMR-AZTECCOINS   $34  This item is no longer available.    882 coins from Cortez' cursed Aztec treasure were taken by the Pirates of the Black Pearl, led by the traitorous Captain Barbosa. The curse that took hold of the entire crew of the Pearl set about a chain of events that united Captain Jack Sparrow, Blacksmith Will Turner and Lady Elizabeth Swan. The three joined up for the three movies in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. For those of you not familiar with Hernando Cortez, he was one of the famed Spanish Conquistadors of the 16th century. Cortez, with 600 men 20 horses and 10 cannons, conquered the entire Aztec empire -- a civilization numbering more than 5 million people. Cortez's methods were often brutal. He massacred tens of thousands of Aztecs in his assault and stole tons (literally) of gold and artwork from them.
