The Chameau Treasure Ship Coinage - 1725-I [Limoges Mint] Ecu aux 8 L’s, Gadoury 320. Technically Uncirculated, with the appearance of Very Fine from the sea water. The legends are full save for SIT which is weak but partially visible, the date weak but there, the mintmark bold. Design detail as expected for a VF-level coin. Medium gray, the surfaces with the expected roughness and a few light scratches on the obverse which were likely incurred when the ship sank. A rarer mint from the Chameau wreck, with reportedly just a couple dozen found that could be securely identified. A most acceptable example.
