2011 $1 Zuytdorp 1oz Silver Proof Coin

The story of the Dutch East India Company ship VOC Zuytdorp is as intriguing as any detective mystery. One of four East India Company vessels known to have wrecked off the Western Australian Coast, it is the only one from which no survivors managed to report the event. The VOC Zuytdorp left the Netherlands in August 1711, bound for Batavia, or modern-day Jakarta. 

She carried 286 people and a cargo of trading goods and silver coins, including 3- and 6-stuiver pieces minted that same year. The ship met its rocky end south of Shark Bay, during the winter of 1712.
This coin was struck by the Royal Australian Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver.
The reverse design shows a representation of one of the coins found on the shipwreck with the artist impression of where coins on the Zuytdorp may have come to rest.
Minor scuff marks to storage box, with coin in excellent condition.

Coin comes with a numbered certificate and display case.
