KM-51; Delm-1014; Dav-4930. 27.94 grams. Exceptionally well-detailed "rider" and bold legend of a neater style (later, also Holland mint, with date in cartouche) than usually seen for this wreck, contrastingly toned over lightly corroded surfaces (also a pit or two on the edge).
Pedigreed to the Steve Valentine Collection, with original certificate from the salvor/conservator.
Recovered from Merestein Shipwreck, sunk in 1702 off South Africa.
