galleons
Old sailing vessels
Galleons were large, multi-decked sailing ships used from the 16th to 18th centuries, primarily by European powers for trade and warfare.
Spanish galleons famously transported treasure from the Americas.
The word now evokes the age of exploration and piracy: The galleon was laden with gold.
In the Harry Potter series, a galleon is a gold wizard currency.
