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 he hit the “mother load...” millions upon millions in glittering Spanish silver and gold!

Robert's Notes: This is a beautiful, fun piece, with sweet cross. 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.

Due to their smaller size, 4 reales didn't always survive the harsh saltwater environment as well as the large 8 reales did. 

Most of the treasure on board Atocha was the silver dollar sized 8 reales. Atocha coins are becoming very difficult to source, and we are excited to be able to offer this beautiful and uniquely shaped quality coin. It is difficult for photos to capture how beautiful this coin is in hand. 

NOTES ON THIS ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY: Rare and collectable, this coin comes with its original, historic Treasure Salvor's, Inc., embossed raised seal Certificate 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. 

This is not a modern Recertification.
