Utrecht, Netherlands, "lion" daalder, 1617, ex-Sebring, very rare provenance. KM-13. 26.79 grams. No corrosion, full details (with typical flat spots), nice toning, a few minor marks, very important provenance dating to a critical battle pitting the Dutch privateer Heyn against the Portuguese and Spanish just one year before his famous capture of the Spanish 1628 Fleet that resulted in the "Lucayan Beach wreck" (see next lots). With certificate, pedigreed to the Tom Sebring collection (ANR, January 2004, lot 1602) and to the Christie's Amsterdam auction of March 1983. Recovered from: Piet Heyn's Hollandia, sunk in 1627 off Bay of All Saints, Brazil
