Old Spanish silver coins that pirates were after (6,2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pieces of eight

(Other definitions for pieces of eight that I've seen before include "Old Spanish coins (sought by pirates)" , "2 and 6 perhaps" , "Old Spanish coins - Long John Silver's parrot's cry" , "Old Spanish silver coins" , "In old money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
