Original promotional set in leather case consisting of two Dutch (Utrecht) gold ducats 1724, three Mexican cobs (two 8R and one 4R), two Dutch ducatoons (one portrait and one "rider") and six Dutch 2 stuivers (Holland) 1724. 12-1/4" x 8-3/4" overall. This item is an original promotional case printed with "A Part of the Akerendam Treasure" on the top as from a Norwegian promotion in the 1970s designed to move along lower-end material, something we have seen many times over the years; but what is remarkable about this set is that it still has BOTH of the gold ducats (the most valuable coins in the set) present, whereas most sets have at least one of the ducats removed. Also, both ducats are frosty Mint State (one slightly bent), the cobs (one encrusted) and Dutch coins no worse than usual (albeit with one of the small 2 stuivers broken in half). Also unusually present here is the original brochure in Norwegian, which shows a picture of a set with exactly the coins seen here, including two ducats and a space between them. A slight musty smell adds to the nostalgia. In original promotional case from the 1970s, with certificates and brochures in Norwegian. From the Akerendam, sunk in 1725 off Norway
