In July 1725, the ship [[French ship Chameau|''Chameau'']] left France for Quebec, carrying dozens of military and political VIPs and a fortune in gold and silver, but sank near the end of the voyage.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web |url=http://destination-ns.com/content/stories/chameau.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2007-12-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927201141/http://destination-ns.com/content/stories/chameau.htm |archive-date=27 September 2007}}</ref> In 1961, a discovery of cannons scattered on the sea bottom alerted Alex Storm, a diver working part-time on a fishing trawler from Louisbourg.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> Storm carefully mapped the wreckage of the Chameau to locate the treasure compartment. In 1965, after several years of searching, the gold was found and the mystery of the treasure was solved.

The [[Royal Canadian Mint]] commemorated this by creating a 1/20th ounce gold coin. The coin was released in October 2006 and was composed of 99.99% pure gold. Its face value was one Canadian dollar and had a limited mintage of 10,000 coins.<ref name=autogenerated2>The Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins, 61st Edition</ref> This numismatic coin, named the Gold Louis, had a weight of 1.555&nbsp;grams and a diameter of 14.1&nbsp;mm.
