The Lucayan Beach wreck/treasure, sunk off Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas. Since the accidentally discovery in 1964 of around 10,000 silver cobs (dated up to and including 1628) in 10 feet of water just 1,300 yards from the Lucayan Beach Hotel, the mystery of identifying the lost vessel has never been solved. Because of the date, popular opinion associates the wreck with the taking of the Spanish 1628 Fleet in Matanzas Bay, Cuba by the Dutch pirate/national hero Piet Heyn, who reported losing two of the vessels on the way back to Europe. Please see photographs for condition.

Note the paper cover has wear and a few rips, the box has light wear. The coin has a darker tone but in nice overall condition.
