All items are genuine unless noted. Most shipwreck coins and artifacts come with a certificate of authenticity (please check the description for each item).
Promotional set containing 1 Dutch (Utrecht) gold ducat, 2 Dutch silver "rider" ducatoons, 2 Mexican cob 8 reales, 1 Mexican cob 4 reales, and 6 Dutch silver 2 stuivers dated 1724. From a popular 1970s promotion, sets like these feature a sampling of the different types of coins from this wreck. The gold ducat in this set is particularly nice (lustrous Mint State, slightly wavy and with knight's head flat), and one of the silver "riders" is dated 1672. The 2 stuivers coins are also typically high grade and well detailed (except for 2 that are uncleaned), but the cobs are worn and corroded (still rather thick) and barely attributable to Philip V. Recovered from: Akerendam, sunk in 1725 off Runde Island, Norway. With custom leather case imprinted with EN DEL AV SKATTEN FRA "AKERENDAM" / A PART OF THE "AKERENDAM" TREASURE on top and with color certificate #32.
