Lot description:


NETHERLANDS (Spanish), Kampen, clump of two 6 stuivers ("arendschellings"), Matthias I, split in half to show full side of one coin. 99.21 grams total. Roughly 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1" in all. A golf ball-sized chunk of seafloor crud in dark orange color with the two dark coins at an angle with each other, one oxidized but the other exhibiting a clear double-headed eagle central design and ruler's name in legend, the mirror image of which is also visible on the rest of the chunk (separate), a fascinating two-piece display. With original (generic) certificates (two) from the salvor. Recovered from: Merestein, sunk in 1702 off South Africa

Estimate: $400 - $600
