India (Madras Presidency) – 10 Cash 1808 – British East India Company – Admiral Gardner Shipwreck – NGC Genuine Shipwreck Certification
Offered is an original 1808 10 Cash copper coin issued by the British East India Company for circulation in the Madras Presidency of colonial India. This remarkable historic issue has been authenticated by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) and encapsulated with the prestigious Admiral Gardner Shipwreck Certification, confirming its recovery from one of the most famous numismatic shipwrecks in the world.
The holder identifies the coin as:

Madras Presidency
Weight: 4.7 g
NGC Genuine
Admiral Gardner Shipwreck Certification
Certification No. 6789825-484
The Admiral Gardner was a British East India Company merchant vessel that sank in 1809 on the Goodwin Sands off the coast of Kent, England. The ship was transporting a cargo of newly minted copper coins destined for circulation in British India when it was lost during a severe storm. Following its rediscovery nearly two centuries later, thousands of coins were carefully recovered, conserved, and certified. Coins with official NGC Shipwreck Certification enjoy documented provenance and are highly sought after by collectors of maritime history and historic world coinage.
The obverse features the impressive coat of arms of the British East India Company, with a central shield supported by two lions beneath the Company's crest and banners. The reverse bears the denomination in Persian script together with the date 1808, illustrating the multilingual coinage produced for circulation throughout British India during the early nineteenth century.
This certified shipwreck coin combines the history of the British Empire, the East India Company, colonial India, maritime archaeology, and numismatics into a single collectible. It represents an outstanding opportunity to own a genuine artifact connected to one of the most famous shipwreck recoveries in modern numismatic history.
