ownership of the ship
a gold coin worth sixteen dollars
the heart of Moby-Di**
a promotion to first mate

Answer 1

To answer your question, its a gold coin. however i think its stupid this site is blocking a word that is a nickname for richard.

Answer 2

"Whosoever of ye raises me a white-headed whale with a wrinkled brow and crooked jaw shall have this gold ounce, my boys"(201). He takes a hammer and nails the gold to the mast.

He offers a gold coin worth sixteen dollars..
Also thats so dumb that we have to * in Moby D's name.

Hope this helped!
