The Chameau Treasure Ship Coinage - 1725-G [Poitiers Mint] Ecu aux 8 L’s, Gadoury 320. Uncirculated, a boldly struck example from a rarer mint, the legends and design detail are razor sharp. The surfaces show the expected roughness from the salt water, the surfaces toned an attractive pewter color; some light verdigris was not removed when the piece was put through an electrolytic cleaning after recovery, and it actually looks nice here, a charming part of the coin’s nearly 300-year existence, most of it spent in the ocean. Gadoury ranks this date and mintmark as R3, on a 5-point scale, making it one of the scarcer mints for the year. A handsome example of a treasure ship coin!
