The ship was transporting a cargo of newly minted copper coins destined for circulation in British India when it was lost during a severe storm. Following its rediscovery nearly two centuries later, thousands of coins were carefully recovered, conserved, and certified. Coins with official NGC Shipwreck Certification enjoy documented provenance and are highly sought after by collectors of maritime history and historic world coinage. The obverse features the impressive coat of arms of the British East India Company, with a central shield supported by two lions beneath the Company's crest and banners. The reverse bears the denomination in Persian script together with the date 1808, illustrating the multilingual coinage produced for circulation throughout British India during the early nineteenth century. This certified shipwreck coin combines the history of the British Empire, the East India Company, colonial India, maritime archaeology, and numismatics into a single collectible. It represents an outstanding opportunity to own a genuine artifact connected to one of the most famous shipwreck recoveries in modern numismatic history.
