The mintmark is evident on the obverse of this coin.

The Gilt Dragon was a "jacht" of the Dutch East India Company (V.O.C.) that wrecked off the coast of Western Australia in 1656.

Not only was this just the 25th European vessel recorded to have reached the shores of the Australian continent, but it was also only the second to land with a known quantity of silver coins on board.

The Gilt Dragon stands apart from all other wrecks in Australia as being the "first modern discovery of an outward-bound seventeenth-century Dutch East Indiaman".

Although the wreck of the Gilt Dragon has been studied in detail since 1963, the mystery surrounding it and the survivors remains as strong as ever.
