Bound for Goa, the Sao Jose was among a fleet that left Lisbon in 1622 transporting royal treasure for the Portuguese Empire and Francisco da Gama, great grandson of famed Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, to reign at his post as Viceroy of India. The fleet was attacked and the Sao Jose sank on a reef off the Mozambique coast. After almost 400 years, the Sao Jose shipwreck was discovered yielding a rare treasure representing an exceptional collection of coins from Old and New world mints. This coin is #1973908-044 and has a Certificate of Authenticity. With original box and paperwork. Box measures 2" tall x 5 1/2" x 8".
