Hi I'm new. Not sure if this has been posted already but here goes. so in Curse of the Black Pearl, when Barbossa (with Elizabeth) drops the coin in the chest it clearly shows the skull design on both sides. But when the replicas came out it had the skull design on one side and this other design on the oposite. (This is actually a piece from the PotC checkers set.) Okay, I figure, they probably just want to differentiate between replicas and authentic props. But then watching the film again I notice that if you look closely you can actuall see it a couple of times, most notably in the prologue when Elizabeth see the Black Pearl for the first time. Anyone know what this is about? I mean did they have one prop design and then just decide they didn't like it in post production? And what's it even supposed to be? |

My incredibly late take on it, but I figured that for the coin falling shots, where they showed the skull as being on both sides was they did this to make it obvious what it was, an attempt to focus on it or to not confuse the audience by showing a different side to the coin. I think in the end it did confuse, because when I got my medallion, I flipped it over and went, "oh look, that's different. What about the skull on the other side?" It wasn't until way, way later that I noticed it wasn't identical. And by way later, I mean in DVD territory, not movie theatres (granted the prop wasn't out until after the DVD anyway). Also, thank you for catching the screenshots or those--it really does help illustrate the differences here. |

Just a simple flub. They know a mistake was done and too late to correct it. But the design on the back other than the calender like design with the skull is correct. ~Lady B |
