Description

1725-A French Colonies Ecu. Paris Mint. Gadoury-320, Breen-Unlisted. Le Chameau Treasure. VG Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).

330.0 grains. Uniform dark slate with a dusting of sandy-white patina in the protected areas. Porous but the roughness isn't overly severe and there are no serious marks besides the usual hairlines from the aggressive cleaning these coins underwent when recovered. A satisfying Le Chameau ecu and although the 1725-A Paris Mint issue is fairly common otherwise, there appear to have been very few aboard that ship.

PCGS# 466481.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from the 1725 wreck of Le Chameau; Jeff Rock Collection, October 2008.
