Francis Drake gave silver and gold to Queen Elizabeth I as a part of the spoils he acquired during his circumnavigation of the globe and raids on Spanish ships and settlements. This treasure not only demonstrated his success as a privateer but also served to enhance his standing with the Queen and the English crown. By presenting these riches, he aimed to secure her favor and support for future ventures, while also contributing to England's wealth and naval power in the context of ongoing conflicts with Spain.
