Lot description:


Spanish Netherlands
Charles II "Merestein" Ducaton ND (1682-1684) XF (Shipwreck Effect), cf. KM103.1 (Similar type). 24.80gm. Accompanied by COA. Salvaged from the "Merestein" (sunk in 1702 off Jutten Island, South Africa).

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.
