Koperen cash munten van scheepswrak

wpe4.jpg (23136 bytes) Clump of coins caked together from being underwater for almost a thousand years. These were excavated from a 11th century shipwreck in the South China Sea. Ship itself is not identifiable but probably sank in the 11th century because the cargo of coins can be dated and you would expect that the ships coins would have been contemporary. Most likely a merchant ship that ran into a storm.
