Bolivia: 1598-1621 Cob 8 Real Philip III

This coin was recovered from the Spanish shipwreck Nuestra Senora de Atocha by Treasure Salvors, Inc. This coin comes with a certificate of authenticity.

On Sept 6, 1622, the heavily laden treasure galleon of King Philip IV's Tierra Firme Fleet struck a reef and sank in a raging storm near the Florida keys. More than two hundred and sixty persons perished and tons of gold, silver, and other precious cargo were lost to sea. All attempts to locate the shipwreck failed until the location of the primary cultural deposit was made by Treasure Salvors Inc, on July 20th 1985.
