A beautiful Brazilian 1752 6400 Reis coin which spent 242 years on the ocean floor after a shipwreck just off the Southeast cost of South Africa was lost to the sea
The coin was owned by 'Clive of India' and was part of a large hoard of Portuguese and Brazilian Gold being transited to India
The two divers that discovered the treasure became subject to a protracted legal dispute with the South African government who contested ownership of the hoard due to it being found in South African waters
Eventually the two sides settled out of court with the South African Government receiving a third of the treasure. To Auronum's knowledge, this coin was one of the many that was retained by the salvagers
The coins surfaced in a US auction in 2000 where intense competition saw coins distributed to buyers the world over. A beautiful piece with a very rich history, ladies and gentlemen, we give you a stunning 'Clive of India' shipwreck Gold coin

Some recent pick ups in the last few weeks. For the junk silver stash. I'm working on getting £5 face in Vicky Young Head crowns, and £5 face in William IV.
The 1831 sixpence has probably been dipped badly at some point.
A nice surprise was the 1836 half crown, the reverse has been struck mis-aligned, it is rotated to the angle you can see. The seller never stated it as such and I guess never noticed.
