SWEDEN, Avesta mint, copper 2 daler "plate money," Karl XII, 1716, with 1718-dated Type A countermark (Gothenburg) next to center stamp and three crowns countermark on back. KM-PM46. 1121 grams. Roughly 7½" x 7". Rare, earlier-dated piece from this wreck with a weak but certain Gothenburg countermark next to the diamond-shaped center stamp, corroded along the edges with weak corner stamps yet with one showing just enough of the date, the back side rather nice and copper-red with clear three crowns countermark near the edge, the first example of this type from this wreck that we have offered at auction. Pedigreed to the Steve Valentine Collection, with original certificate from the salvor/conservator. Recovered from: Nicobar, sunk in 1783 off South Africa
