About This Item

DeMunt

This coin started as one of 6 coins that wanted to travel the world and this one is the only one still travelling.

The Flying Dutchman (Dutch: De Vliegende Hollander) is a legendary ghost ship which was said to never be able to make port, doomed to sail the oceans forever. The myth is likely to have originated from the 17th-century Golden Age of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and Dutch maritime power. The oldest extant version of the legend has been dated to the late 18th century. According to the legend, if hailed by another ship, the crew of the Flying Dutchman was said to try to send messages to land, or to people long dead. Purported sightings in the 19th and 20th centuries claimed that the ship glowed with a ghostly light. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is a portent of doom.

The images on the coin are on one side of the coin the stern of the vessel The flying Dutchman and on the other side a Boeing 737 because the coin owner is a Dutch pilot and therefore also a flying Dutchman !
