| Lot description: VARIOUS COUNTRIES, original promotional set of one Dutch gold ducat, two Dutch ducatoons, three Mexican silver cobs, and six Dutch 2 stuivers, in blue leatherette case of issue. Case is 12" x 9". The 1970s were the Golden Age of shipwreck salvage in Northern Europe, which saw the recovery of treasure from many 18th-century ships, like Hollandia (1743), Association (1707), DeLiefde (1711), and many more, including the one big find off Norway: Akerendam (1725). While the other shipwreck coins went into various auctions individually, those from the Akerendam were promoted in collector sets like the present one, with a mix of the different types of coins in generally better quality. The best coin here, of course, is the gold ducat from Utrecht, dated 1724, in Mint State condition, this example with fully detailed knight's head but very slightly warped, as so many are. The case itself has seen better days but still closes well, printed with A PART OF THE "AKERENDAM" TREASURE (and its counterpart in Norwegian) on the top. Recovered from: Akerendam, sunk in 1725 off Norway Estimate: 2000 - 3000 USD |  |
