Lot of 3 Zeeland, United Netherlands, 2 stuivers, 1724, important as the key to identifying the wreck. 3.54 grams total. Toned, lightly corroded but well-detailed small coins (thin) that were the first items recovered from the wreck with the 1724 date and Zeeland mark, thereby identifying the ship as having come from that province in that year (and by extension the name of the wreck). Pedigreed to the Thomas Gray collection and formerly displayed at the ANA Money Museum's "Treasures of the Deep" exhibit (2014-15), also pedigreed to our Auction #10, with original lot-tag #453 and photo-certificates from the salvager (Robert Stenuit). Recovered from: Slot ter Hooge, sunk in 1724 off Porto Santo, Madeira Islands
