This large silver coin was obtained from the Hollandia shipwreck off the coast of Annet, Isles of Scilly. The Hollandia was built by the Dutch East India Company in 1742 in Amsterdam. Hollandia was part of the Dutch merchant fleet, headed for Batavia (Indonesia) loaded w/a large amount of trade coin to be used for the trade of spices in the Far East as well as several important passengers. The ship struck a rock and the Hollandia went down on July 13, 1743, w/the loss of nearly its entire crew. The wreck was discovered in 1971. A large quantity of coins were recovered, as well as bronze cannons and mortars. This example is well-centered and w/full legends depicting the crowned Spanish coat-of-arms on the obverse w/Philip V of Spain's name and Latin legend which translates to "Philip V By The Grace Of God - King Of Spain And The Indies." Crowned hemispheres set upon Gibraltar and the sea, flanked by crowned and banner-entwined pillars of Hercules are featured on reverse. The coin shows some wear and aging, to be expected, given that it spent nearly 230 years in the Atlantic. From the Robert M. Overstreet Collection and comes with COA.
