| Lot description: Mexico Ferdinand VI "Doddington" 8 Reales 1750 Mo-MF XF (Shipwreck Effect), Mexico City mint, KM104.1, Cal-474. 17.50gm. Accompanied by COA. Salvaged from the Doddington (sunk in 1755 in Algoa Bay, South Africa). The Doddington shipwreck, also known as the Clive of India wreck, carried a large amount of gold and silver belonging to Robert Clive, British Governor of the Bengal Presidency. Upon striking a rock in Algoa Bay, Eastern Cape, the fateful instance claimed most of its crew and passengers. Treasure hunters discovered the wreck and looted it in the past few decades, with some 1,200 gold coins eventually returned to the South African government after legal battles. The Clive of India gold coins are known to have matte-like surfaces, with many consisting of high-grade Brazilian 6400 Réis. www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice https://coins.ha.com/itm/mexico/ferdinand-vi-doddington-8-reales-1750-mo-mf-xf-shipwreck-effect-/p/61563-17032.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61563-11112025 HID02906262019 © 2025 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |
