| Lot description: Spanish Netherlands Brabant. Philip IV "Merestein" Ducaton 1649 XF (Shipwreck Effect), Antwerp mint, KM72.1, Dav-4454. 31.69gm. Salvaged from the "Merestein" (sunk in 1702 off Jutten Island, South Africa). Minimally affected by corrosion. The Dutch East Indiaman Merestein 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.
