| Shield
type cob, recovered from the Lucayan Beach
wreck, named after Lucayan Beach Grand Bahama Island, where the
wreck was discovered in 1964. Popular belief ties
this wreck to the Dutch hero Piet Heyn who captured the entire
1628 Spanish fleet at Matanzas Bay, Cuba. Two of his
ships were lost near Grand Bahama Island during their return
voyage home; it seems likely that the Lucayan Beach wreck is one
of Heyn's lost ships. Ruggedly crude strike, typical of
Mexico cobs of the time period. An exceptional grade 1
coin with a nice well centered cross and shield. Supplied
with a New World Treasures photo certificate of authenticity. |
