The Vergulde Draeck was completed in 1653 and met its fate on the high seas some three years later. After rounding the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa in early 1656, the ship was on its way to the Dutch East India Company’s trading headquarters in Batavia, Indonesia. The ship would never reach the city, now known as Jakarta, Indonesia.

On 28 April 1656, the Vergulde was sailing between the coastal cities of Seabird and Ledge Point off the coast of Western Australia. Overnight, the ship struck a submerged coral reef and sank. The ship had a total crew of 193 individuals, eight boxes of silver coins, and trade goods valued at one-and-a-half times that of the silver coins. Only 75 individuals initially survived the shipwreck to make it to shore.

The obverse side of the 2020 1 oz Silver Australian Shipwreck Vergulde Draeck Coins includes the image of the Vergulde sinking in the distance as the survivors struggle to shore. From the party of 75 survivors, 8 were dispatched on a rescue mission to sail on a small barge attached to the Vergulde that survived the sinking. This group of eight was tasked with reaching Batavia some 1,400 nautical miles away to try and summon help. Queen Elizabeth II is featured on this side as well in the Jody Clark right-profile effigy that debuted on Australian coins beginning in 2018/2019.

On the reverse face of the coin, the full splendor of the Vergulde Draeck is visible on the 2020 Silver Shipwreck Vergulde Draeck coin. The three-masted ship is depicted sailing safely on calm waters with an ornate border design decorated in a maritime theme.

These 2020 1 oz Silver Australian Shipwreck Vergulde Draeck Coins are available to you in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are housed inside of specially designed triangular plastic capsules to perfectly fit the triangular bullion coins.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
