Description

Utrecht. Provincial gold "Akerendam" Ducat 1724 AU58 NGC, Utrecht mint, KM7.4, Fr-285, Delm-965. Salvaged from the "Akerendam" (sunk in 1725 off Runde Island, Norway).

On January 19th, 1725, the VOC ship Akerendam headed to Batavia with 19 chests of gold and silver coins when it got hit by a snow storm and sunk off the Norwegian coast. Five of the chests were recovered, but the wreck was only further salvaged upon its rediscover in the 1970's. Of over 50,000 of the retrieved coins, the main type found within the 6,600 gold specimens was the 1724 Utrecht Ducat - a once extremely rare type. Also known as the "Runde Treasure", it's the largest coin treasure ever found in Norway.
