NETHERLANDS, mints uncertain, clump of three ducatoon "biscuits" (encrusted as found). 163 grams total. roughly 3¾" x 2" x 1¾". Typical "biscuit" ducatoons but elegantly arranged by nature into a right angle with two side-by-side, the upright coin with part of the crusty cocoon and coin's edge corroded away, the thick gray coating with white encrustation, shell bits on bottom, and the interior intersection with pieces of wood (the original coin box?), very neat. With original (generic) certificate from the salvors. Recovered from: Vliegenthart, sunk in 1735 off Zeeland, Netherlands
