This is a really nice coin considering it has been underwater in a sealed barrel for almost 2 centuries. The Admiral Gardner was a British 3 mast sailing ship loaded with copper coins, heading for East India when it sank in a storm just off the coast of England in 1809. The shipwreck was found in 1984 and divers were able to bring up one barrel of these coins.
