Galleon Buttons
Galleon Buttons
Freedom of men to navigate the new world during the age of discovery and trade.
Galleons, as used in the Spanish Armada, were sailing ships that rode high out of the water with towering fore and after castles from which handheld firearms were discharged while the crews grappled the enemy ships so that soldiers could board and capture them. Their height and broad beam made these ships awkward to sail.
Since 1972, Quick Silver Mint has been creating authentic handmade medallions, which are available through their catalog and at festivals throughout the United States. Now, the designs are available here as buttons.
Each symbol, inspired by myth and legend, originates from ancient stone carvings, pottery, or other artifacts. Understanding these symbols may enhance your journey of self-discovery.
We have spent over 30 years researching and creating magical jewelry based on symbols worldwide. We are very proud to mint over 100 designs.
