Vliegenthart Shipwreck Coins
The
Vliegenthart (Flying Hart), a Dutch East Indiaman, was lost on February
3rd, 1735 after striking a sand bank off the coast of Zealand. Every
one of the 461 sailors, soldiers and merchants aboard perished. The
vessel, sailing out of the Netherlands port of Rammekens, carried three
chests of gold and silver (mainly Dutch gold ducats and Spanish colonial
pieces of eight from the Mexico mint), for trade in the East Indies.
Search operations conducted by Rex Cowen and John Rose in collaboration
with the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, resulted in the wrecks discovery in late
1981. The work is financed by the sale of recovered material offered
only after it is examined and cataloged by the National Museum, The Coin
Cabinet in Leyden Holland. Certificates of
Authenticity accompany all Vliegenthart Shipwreck treasure coins.
