Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the wreck of the "Sea Venture," a British ship that sank off the coast of Bermuda in 1609. The ship was carrying 150 colonists and crew, and although most survived the wreck, they were forced to spend ten months on the island before they could be rescued. The coin's design features an image of the shipwreck and the year 1609, and the coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
