Utrecht, United Netherlands, gold ducat, 1717, rare, NGC MS 63 / Akerendam (Shipwreck Blue Label) ("top pop"). KM-7.1; Fr-unl (285 for type). While the usual date for Utrecht ducats from this wreck was 1724, a handful of earlier dates were reported, including 47 of the date 1717 (see page 48 of Bjorn Ronning's 1979 book Akerendam: The Story of the Runde Treasure), this example being just as nice as any of the common 1724's, with much luster, smooth fields, and full knight's-head details, tied with two others for finest in the NGC census. Recovered from: Akerendam, sunk in 1725 off Norway
