Lot of 2 Zeeland, Dutch East India Co. (VOC), copper duits, 1746, one cleaned and the other as found, very rare provenance. KM-152.2. 1.8 and 2.0 grams each. The cleaned specimen shows all details clearly (somewhat dark and slightly corroded) but the uncleaned one is almost totally green and crusty (some details) and with corroded edge, but each one is quite valuable as among very few coins ever offered from this wreck in the heart of diamond territory. Recovered from: Vlissingen, sunk in 1747 off Namibia on the southwest coast of Africa
