Spanish colonial pieces of eight like this one were struck at the Mexico City mint, and at other locations in the Americas. They were used in trade the world over. This particular piece was part of a shipment by the Dutch East India Company to its Far Eastern operation. The ship Hollandia was a "retour" vessel on its maiden voyage, sadly, with an inexperienced crew unable to cope with navigation during a storm. The 1743 wreck is located off the southwest coast of England. More about this on my website -- check my profile for the URL.

The Indian Head one-cent coin was produced by the United States Mint from 1859 through 1909. It was designed by James Barton Longacre, the Engraver at the Philadelphia Mint.
The obverse of the coin shows UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, an Indian head facing to the left, wearing a feather bonnet. The word LIBERTY is shown on the band across the bonnet, and shows the production date below.
The coin's reverse side shows ONE CENT within a laurel wreath. In 1860 the reverse design was changed slightly, showing ONE CENT within an oak wreath, with three arrows inserted under the ribbon that binds the two branches of the wreath. Above and between the ends of the branches is the shield of the United States.
The coins that were struck between 1859 and 1864 were composed of 88 percent copper and 12 percent nickel, as required by law. In 1864, the weight of the coins was reduced from 72 grains to the present weight of 48 grains, and the alloy changed to 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. Research in 1863 indicated that bronze was an excellent alloy for minor coins, and so the copper-nickel alloy was discontinued. Total production of the Indian Head cent was 1,849,648,000 pieces.

The Victory Medal (also called the Inter-Allied Victory Medal) is a United Kingdom and British Empire First World War campaign medal.
The award of a common allied campaign medal was recommended by an inter-allied committee in March 1919. Each allied nation would design a 'Victory Medal' for award to their own nationals, all issues having certain common features, including a winged figure of victory on the obverse and the same ribbon
The medal is bronze, circular and 36 millimeters (1.4 in) in diameter. While originally to be of dull bronze, the final award had a clear lacquer coating, giving it a bright finish. It was designed by William McMillan.
The obverse shows the winged, full-length, full-front, figure of 'Victory' (or 'Victoria') with her left arm extended and holding a palm branch in her right hand, similar to the statue surmounting the Queen Victoria Memorial, in front of Buckingham Palace in London.
The reverse has the words ‘THE GREAT / WAR FOR / CIVILISATION / 1914-1919' in four lines, all surrounded by a laurel wreath.
The 39 millimeters (1.5 in) wide watered ribbon has an iridescent colour scheme, with the violet moving through to a central red stripe where both schemes meet. It attaches to the medal through a ring suspender.
The recipient's name, rank, service number and unit were impressed on the edge of the medal. The name of the regiment or corps was omitted on medals awarded to Army officers.

Bank of Canada 1937 Twenty Dollar Bill
Most Canadian bank notes from 1937 feature a portrait of King George VI (with exception of $100 and $1000 bills). Each denomination has a different color tint, just like modern currency does today. Twenty dollar bills are an olive green color. The first thing you will probably notice is that the left side of each bank note has English text and the right hand side has French text. This was a change from 1935 bank notes, which were printed with either just French or just English text. 1937 $20 bills were printed by The Canadian Bank Note Company, Limited.

An uncirculated British crown coin issued by the Royal Mint to mark the death of Winston Churchill in 1965. Made of cupronickel. "We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous virus rarely surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human history. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be." Winston Churchill

Earliest coinage of the New World, these pieces were struck under Spanish colonial authority in Mexico City. Interestingly, these pieces are more round than the irregular shaped coins of 100 years later. During these years production was more closely supervised by Spanish craftsmen with knowledge of European techniques. Round coins would appear 150-200 years later with the famed "Spanish Milled Dollars" of the American colonial period.

Sea salvaged from the Vliegenthart wreck of 1735. Registered shipment of gold coins -- these silver pieces, also known as "Silver Riders" in their day, were likely smuggled aboard for the black market bullion markets of the Far East. This particular coin was in mint state when sunk. The apparent porosity of the surface is from over 200 years' immersion in seawater.
