| Lot description: Spanish Netherlands Brabant. Philip IV of Spain "Merenstein" Ducaton 1639 XF (Saltwater Effect), Antwerp mint, Dav-4454. 26.39gm. Salvaged from the "Merenstein" (sunk in 1702 off Jutten Island, South Africa). With a good shield and discernible bust. Accompanied by COA. The Dutch East Indiaman Merenstein was loaded with several chests of silver coins for trade in the East Indies when a reef off Jutten Island torn the ship into pieces. Contemporary salvaging wasn't fruitful, the wreck later re-discovered and salvaged in the 1970's when thousands of Dutch silver coins were retrieved, with much of the treasure yet to be found. https://coins.ha.com/itm/spanish-netherlands/spanish-netherlands-brabant-philip-iv-of-spain-merenstein-ducaton-1639-xf-saltwater-effect-/a/61364-21532.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61364-03172024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |
