Lot of 2 Dutch ducatoon "biscuits". 31.4 and 30.2 grams each. For whatever reason, Dutch ducatoons from various different wrecks are sometimes found in a puffy, oxidized state that turns them into black biscuits, like these two specimens, both with shells and pebbles embedded on one side, the coins inside possibly decent if broken open and cleaned. With original certificates from the salvagers. Recovered from: Merestein, sunk in 1702 off South Africa
