Bottom (pontil) of a black-glass "onion" bottle and 3 loose clumps, at least one of which contains Dutch East India Co. copper duits (coins) of 1752. 282 grams total. A motley lot whose main components are the bottom of an onion bottle and 2 copper coins, the remains of a larger clump of coins around the glass piece, interesting in that you get to see the acidified interior of the glass, the pontil also encrusted with white, wormy coral, a very curious artifact to be sure. With original certificate from the salvagers. Recovered from: Bredenhof, sunk in 1753 off Mozambique
