March 8, 1725 Sunken Treasure from “The Akerendam”, “The Akerendam” was a Dutch ship just one year old when it sank in a storm off Runde at Sunnmore on the Norwegian West Coast. On boardwere 19 chests of gold and silver discovered by scuba divers in 1972. In total there were 57,000 coins recovered of which only 6,600 were gold. This is one of only 6,505 1724 ducats known to be in existence.
On 1972 amateur scuba divers at the coast of Norway found extremely rare 1724
Gold Utrecht coins. These coins were among the sunken treasure of the AKERENDAM
a Dutch East India trading ship which wrecked in a storm off the coast of Runde,
Norway in 1725. These coins remained untouched for more than 2 centuries at the
bottom of the ocean.
The AKERENDAM was a Dutch VOC ship built in 1724. In January 1725 the
newly-built vessel sailed from Texel heading for Java, loaded with 19 chests of
gold and silver. She went in convoy with two other ships, but drifted away in a
storm, and sank off Runde, at Sunnmøre, on the Norwegian west coast. Of the 200
people onboard, there were no survivors. The wreck site was close to the shore,
and during the summer of 1725 four chests and other parts of the cargo were
salvaged. But then the divers gave up, and the wreck was forgotten. During the
19th century, locals often found coins at the shore. But the origin was already
forgotten, so those finds fuelled an oral tradition that the coins would be from
the Spanish Armada of the 16th century.
