Starting in the 10 o’clock position there is a “P” for Potosi, next is a number for the denomination. Next is the assayer’s initial.  The two or three numerals above the center wave are the date. Through the center runs the phrase PLV SVL TRA – “Plus Ultra” – More Beyond the Pillars of Hercules. On the reverse is the crusaders cross, with lions and castles in the four quadrants representing the early Spanish kingdoms of Leon and Castile. Coins minted in the 1700s will have three digits, i.e. 737 for 1737. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cannonbeachtreasure.com\/blogs\/news\/how-to-read-a-spanish-piece-of-8-pillars-waves-edition\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCLICK HERE TO LEARN HOW TO READ YOUR PILLARS AND WAVES COIN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cannonbeachtreasure.com\/pages\/consolacion-1681\" title=\"The Wreck of Consolacion and the Treasure of Isla de Muerto\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn more about the Consolacion shipwreck and pirates... click here\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cannonbeachtreasure.com\/collections\/spanish-coins\" title=\"Spanish Treasure Coin Jewelry\"\u003eTo see our complete collection of Spanish \"Piece of Eight\" treasure coins, click here\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Isla de Muerto Pendant Comes Complete with:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur 100% Authentic Lifetime Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Detailed, Customized, Multi-Page, Full Color Photo Certificate of Authenticity Researched and Written by Robert Lewis Knecht\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Page Potosi Mint Historic Brief by Robert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Pieces of Eight\" Historic Brief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Coins of the Lost Galleons Book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreasure Hunters Gazette Booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini Museum Display for when you are not wearing your treasure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Treasure Jewelry Care Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Cannon Beach Treasure Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50675838812407,"sku":null,"price":1170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4193\/files\/4196-Consolacion-Spanish-Shipwreck-Treasure-Coin-One-1-Reale-Isla-de-Muerto-Cob-14K-Gold-and-Sterling-Silver-Pendant-03.jpg?v=1775851596","url":"https:\/\/cannonbeachtreasure.com\/products\/heart-shaped-1653-consolacion-shipwreck-pirate-era-spanish-1-reale-piece-of-eight-14k-gold-sterling-silver-pendant-artifact-4196","provider":"Cannon Beach Treasure Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
