This recoveredcoin is from the Shipwreck of the EIC Ship the ADMIRAL GARDNER.

The ship was bound for India loaded with trade goods and newly minted EIC Coin.

The Admiral Gardner did not get very far on her voyage to India being wrecked on the Goodwin Sands off the Kent Coast on 24th January1809.

This coin is one of these copper EIC coins minted the previous year in 1808.

As can be seen from the photo\'sthe coin has excellent detail on both sides with slight sea-bed wear on the edge.

I will include two pages of information on the ship and cargo and wreck and theCaptains report on the loss of the ship.
