A doubloon is a type of gold coin that was used in Spanish-speaking countries during the 16th to 19th centuries. In "Moby Dick," Captain Ahab nails a gold doubloon to the mast of the Pequod as a reward for the crew member who first spots the white whale, creating a competitive incentive for the crew.
