Historic. A treasure in every way. Only a handful of times in the last few decades has a major shipwreck been recovered. The El Cazador discovery likely represents the most historical find in modern memory. El Cazador was a treasury vessel that sank in 1784, and while most of what was recovered was silver coins, the history of El Cazador had historical impact so important, that it literally changed the shape of our nation.
1808
Admiral Gardner Shipwreck 10 CASH
Over 210 years old!
The Admiral Gardner's Final Voyage: These copper coins were minted in England, for the British East India Company (EIC), in 1808.These coins are typically in very good condition since the ship did not make it out of the English Channel, sinking on the treacherous Goodwin Sands at its northern end. On January 24,1809, the Admiral Gardner set sail through the English Channel, headed for India. Not long into the voyage, a sudden and violent storm hit the Channel just off Dover. The Captain and his crew tried desperately to ride out the storm, but to no avail as the ship succumbed to the wind and ocean. The ship ran aground on the Goodwin Sands of the English Channel and, by the next morning, the ship was submerged by the unrelenting ocean. The shipwreck carried with it a precious cargo of 48 tons of East India Company copper coins for use as currency for native workers in India. The coins were minted in Birmingham for use by the East India Company in the Madras Presidency. It would be nearly 200 years before the treasure of the Admiral Gardner would see the light of day once again. The really interesting part of this shipwreck is the depiction published in the newspaper and the eyewitness account of the shipwreck...lots of history!
Both coins are slightly larger than a U.S. Quarter.
