A Note from Robert & April:

This Princess Louisa shipwreck coin is part of an exclusive release drawn from our private vault — a curated collection we have been steadily building for over 15 years. Because recovery from the wreck was limited and brief, authentic Princess Louisa coins are incredibly scarce. Most have disappeared into private hands, rarely resurfacing.

This piece is one we have protected for years, awaiting the perfect moment. It bears the marks of its centuries at sea — a true survivor of both ocean and history. As part of our “Opening the Vaults” Holiday release, this shipwreck treasure represents not only extreme rarity but also an opportunity unlikely to appear again.

Ships like Princess Louisa were the largest, and the most beautiful, in the British merchant marine and were only rivaled by the larger galleons of Spain and Portugal. They had evolved during the 130 years that England had been trading with the East and were now big, but graceful ships; strong, fast, well-armed and eminently suited for the long and dangerous passages they had to make.

But treacherous currents, combined with inaccurate charts, sealed Princess Louisa's fate in the shallow shoals off the Cape Verde Islands. Like most trade ships of her day, the trade coinage she was loaded with were Spanish, not British.
