These are a historically accurate render of doubloons, not pieces of eight and not your archetypal Pirates of the Caribbean doubloons which were made from silver.

These are replicas of gold doubloons used in Mexico and Spain. It tool about a month to sculpt them from detailed bitmaps of both sides, and then I just duplicated them to make the scene.
