This French Silver Ecu is an authentic artifact from an 18th century shipwreck! La Dromadaire was a vessel owned by the French East India Company that departed from the Port of Lorient on February 6th 1762. After thirteen days at sea, inclement weather caused the ship to sink near the Cape Verde Islands. Built in 1758, the 520 ton ship carried 154 people (of which 77 survived), 20 guns, 1000 cannon balls and a chest of silver. The wreck of Le Dromadaire was discovered in January 1996, leading to the recovery of 3,377 coins.
