| Additional information |
The Brederoe was a Dutch East India Company vessel that wrecked in 1607 near the Shetland Islands while returning from the East Indies, carrying a cargo whose full manifest was never recovered. This coin belongs to a broader Solomon Islands bullion and commemorative program that leaned heavily on shipwreck and maritime themes during the mid-2000s — a period when Pacific island issuers competed aggressively for the collector bullion market. The VOC connection gives the subject genuine historical weight, though the coin itself has no physical link to recovered wreck material.
