Atocha is the most famous Spanish galleon in shipwreck history! Mel Fisher spent 16 years searching for her... and every day he would tell his divers: “Today’s the Day!”  Years of trials and heartbreak were endured, along with attacks by the State and Federal government, who wanted to claim what Fisher found along the way.  At last, one fateful morning in 1985 Fisher and his faithful crew hit the “mother lode...” hundreds of millions in glittering Spanish silver and gold!

It has a very nice thickness to it. The shape and sea wear pattern suggests that is was removed from the outer edge of the remains of a treasure chest.

It is difficult for photos to capture how beautiful this coin is in hand. 

We treasure hunters affectionately call these coins "Key West Dog Tags." Sidle up (if there's no horse, it's sidle) to an oyster bar wearing this and you will turn heads!

Very piratical!

NOTES ON THIS ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY: This coin comes with its original, historic Treasure Salvor's, Inc., raised seal Certificate and coin flip insert issued in 1986. Long before Mel Fisher and his dedicated crew "hit the mother lode," someone believed in Fisher and the magic and mystery of searching for a lost Spanish galleon. When the Atocha was discovered, Fisher gave this coin and others to that investor as part of their return on investment. It has been safe-guarded in a safe deposit box since it was issued.
