| Lot description: Mexico Philip V "Reijgersdaal" 8 Reales 1741 Mo-MF AU Details (Sea Salvaged) NGC, Mexico City mint, KM103, Cal-1458. Salvaged from the "Reijgersdaal" (sunk in 1747 off Cape Town, South Africa). Well-struck and crisp. The VOC ship Reijgersdaal was lost on October 26th, 1747, after striking reefs off the West Coast of South Africa. It carried some 8 treasure chests containing about 30,000 coins. Though the few survivors retrieved a partial chest of coins, contemporary salvaging was deemed too dangerous. Modern salvaging started in the late 1970's with thousands of near-pristine Mexican Pillar 8 Reales being recovered. https://coins.ha.com/itm/mexico/mexico-philip-v-reijgersdaal-8-reales-1741-mo-mf-au-details-sea-salvaged-ngc-/a/61364-21324.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61364-03172024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |
