Sir Francis Drake acquired gold primarily during his circumnavigation of the globe from 1577 to 1580. He captured Spanish treasure ships and plundered ports in the Americas, particularly in present-day Peru and the Caribbean, which were rich in gold and silver. His most famous raid occurred in 1579 when he seized a significant amount of treasure from the Spanish at Nombre de Dios in Panama, contributing to his reputation as a privateer and explorer.
