From the Waters of Silver Shoals Reef Comes the Glittering Treasure of the Famed Spanish Galleon Concepcion

Please Note: This is an authentic Concepcion Shipwreck Treasure Coin, and you will receive the exact pendant in the photographs and description.

On September 28, 1641, the Spanish treasure fleet set sail for Seville, Spain, from Havana, Cuba loaded with silver from new world mines.  Minted into the rough-shaped, famous, Spanish Reale (“Piece of Eight”), the treasure was destined to swell the coffers of the merchants who owned most of the treasure, and the powerful Spanish Empire.

Note from Robert: Stunning condition and beautiful, nearly centered deeply struck cross and shield. This coin comes from the first discovery of Concepcion in 1979 and comes with its original Burt Webber Jr. Certificate of Authenticity.

The largest denomination minted by the Spanish, this 8 Reale has an almost full cross and good detail on both sides. Visible "oM" of the Mexico City mint mark. It has the distinctive "scoop" shape Concepcion coins are famed for - a wonderful example from this legendary wreck. A true treasure hunter "Key West Dog Tag" - sidle (if there's no horse, it's sidle) up to an oyster bar, and you will turn heads!
