Description :

Coin with corrosion. Pleasant appearance. Details are visible.

Salvaged from the Spice Islands wreck (sunk ca. 1630 off Southeast Asia).

This wreck dates to 1628 and much of the recovery material consisted of Mexican and Bolivia 8 Reales Cobs.

The Spice Islands wreck is a mystery whether it was actually a plate ship or merchant vessel is unclear. What is known is that when the ship became stuck and too damaged to continue on her voyage; the crew made the decision to light the ship on fire and scuttle her contents. Whether this was to spoil the victory of a ship giving chase or an attempt to signal passing vessels is unclear, though given the amount of Silver recovered from the wreck, it can be seen that the loss of this vessel was a severe economic blow to whomever she belonged to.

Coin certified NGC Genuine. Spice islands shipwreck.
