The Chameau Treasure Ship Coinage - 1725-H [La Rochelle Mint] Half Ecu Aux 8 L, Gadoury 312. Technically Uncirculated, appearance of Fine or so due to the saltwater immersion, the legends mostly full, though occasional letters are weak; the date is all there and the mintmark can be made out. Medium pewter color, the surfaces with the expected light and even roughness, and both sides with some patination. The Half Ecu denomination is rarer as a regular coin, and is found far less frequently than the full Ecu, and is FAR rarer as a Chameau treasure ship piece – only 10 examples of the Half Ecu denomination were found that could be positively identified, and several of those did not have a visible mintmark. A coin the specialist will covet!
