Special Note Regarding Possession and Export:
Potential buyers should be aware that there are certain legal obligations when it comes to having possession of important heritage items such as this coin - permits are required before selling or otherwise disposing of a shipwreck relic.
We handle ex-wreck coins reasonably regularly, so although the paperwork involved in the transfer process might appear a little daunting to the uninitiated, we're able to walk you through it to ensure that the transaction is legal and hassle-free.
Removal of shipwreck relics such as coins from Australia without a Historic Shipwreck permit for sale or transfer of a shipwreck relic is prohibited by the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976. A permit under the Protection of Movable Cultural Heritage Act 1986 may also be required. In our experience, for all intents and purposes, coins recovered from historic wrecks off the West Australian coast cannot be exported overseas.
