| 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. Nice full cross with all lions and
castles at least partially visible. Nearly full shield with
the mint mark oM and assayer mark D at left. Struck on a ruggedly crude
planchet, typical of
Mexico cobs of the time period. Supplied
with a New World Treasures photo certificate of authenticity. |

| Milled
Pillar
type 8 reales, recovered by Rex
Cowen, the expedition leader and Jack Gayton, the diving team
leader, from the wreck of the
Dutch East Indiaman Hollandia, which
sank off the Isles of Scilly in July 1743, on her maiden voyage
from Amsterdam to Batavia. All on board perished. The
coin is a valuable
1740 dated
Mexico mint Philip V pillar dollar that appears to
have been in almost uncirculated condition before suffering the
effects of salt water corrosion from years of being lost at sea.
It was hand selected from a large lot
of exceptionally nice specimens from this wreck. Supplied
with a New World Treasures photo certificate of authenticity. |
