Description: Up for your consideration is this beautiful Atocha silver 8 Reales W/ original, sealed certificate of authenticity in original vintage promotional plaque. This particular coin is a better condition grade four with visible mint mark (P) and assayer's mark (Q) and a respectable weight (19.8). Also, present is the original flip card in the plaque. This is NOT a replica or copy of an Atocha coin but an actual piece of the treasure the Atocha carried on board. The Atocha shipwreck: Atocha was the almiranta (rear guard ship) of the 1622 Treasure Fleet, which left Havana several weeks late, causing them to run into the jaws of a hurricane on September 6, 1622. Eight ships of the 28 ships in the fleet were lost, wrecked on the reefs between the Dry Tortugas and present day Key West. Only five people survived from Atocha and were saved by another vessel. The wreck itself was scattered after another hurricane hit the site exactly one month later, so the Spanish were never able to salvage what was one of the richest galleons ever to sail!
