Sedwick sale 34, lot 142

This specimen was lot 142 in Sedwick sale 34 (Winter Park, FL, November 2023), where it sold for $360. The catalog description^[1] noted, "Zeeland, United Netherlands, "lion" half daalder, 1623, NGC VF details / saltwater damage / Campen (Shipwreck Blue Label). Full legends including bold date, weaker inner details (as made) with practically no corrosion except for a few small, interior pits, toned only around edge. Recovered from: Campen, sunk in 1627 off the Isle of Wight, south of England." This type was struck 1609, 1614-19, 1623-25, 1628-29, 1632-41 and 1645-53. While not rare in low grade, because of its crude fabric this half daalder is quite scarce in nice condition. This example is above average despite the pitting from salt water immersion.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 13.84 g, 0.750 fine silver.

Catalog reference: Delm-876; KM-30.
