The Chameau Treasure Ship Coinage - 1724-T [Nantes Mint] Ecu aux 8 L’s, Gadoury 320. Uncirculated, the saltwater immersion lightly roughening the surfaces, as expected – but with everything on the coin surprisingly strong, including full legends, date and mintmark, and excellent design detail. One of the better-preserved examples from this treasure ship, with only a small number found with this date and mintmark – the entire number of 1724-dated pieces found was less than the second most common mint from 1725, and a small fraction of the number of 1725-H coins! There are a few light marks, likely incurred when the ship sank and not from the coins later recovery. A very pleasing example, likely as nice as could be found for a Chameau coin of this date and mint.
