1/2 Reales Mexico 1700-1719

Here you see a very rare triangular-shaped Mexican cob, recovered from the Loosdrecht shipwreck. Despite the effects of saltwater damage, this extraordinary coin retains significant details on both sides, with a nearly complete cross that stands out as a particularly striking feature. The rarity of this piece is further emphasized by the fact that only a small number of coins and artifacts were ever recovered from the Loosdrecht, a long-lost vessel rich in maritime history. This coin presents a truly unique opportunity to own a tangible link to this fascinating chapter of the past.
