Holland, United Netherlands, gold ducat, 1715, very rare, NGC MS 61 / Akerendam (Shipwreck Blue Label). KM-12.2; Fr-250. As reported on page 48 of Bjorn Ronning's 1979 book Akerendam: The Story of the Runde Treasure, a scant fourteen examples of 1715-dated Holland ducats were recovered from the wreck (compared to more than 6500 Utrecht 1724's), this to our knowledge being the only one ever offered for sale. With lovely luster and well-defined strike, it is hard to imagine a nicer example coming along, but technically this one is second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 63. Recovered from: Akerendam, sunk in 1725 off Norway
