STUNNING Mel Fisher's Atocha Rare 2 Reale Shipwreck Coin 14K Solid Gold Pendant | Artifact #8957

Mel Fisher's Legendary Atocha - 1622 to 2022: Commemorating 400+ Years of History in an Heirloom 14K Gold Pendant

In the world of shipwreck treasure coins, Mel Fisher's Atocha reigns supreme!

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

FOR PENDANT SIZE SEE COIN DETAILS BELOW

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 stunning piece! 2 Reales are extremely rare and desirable from the Atocha, and incredibly difficult to acquire. Only a very small percentage of coins onboard Atocha were the 2 reales. 

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

This Grade 1 coin has a sweet centered cross, and a excellent "R" assayer's initials.

  • Beautiful full cross and shield detail.  
  • Nice thick planchet. The piece is stunning in hand. 
  • Virtually uncirculated, with very little sea wear... this coin was gently removed from the interior remains of a treasure chest.
  • Original raised seal embossed Treasure Salvor's, Inc certificate issued in 1986, with its flip insert. The Certificate is what we call "treasure hunter memorabilia."
  • This is one of the finest Atocha coins that one can acquire.  

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 stunning quality coin at this price. It is difficult for photos to capture how beautiful this coin is in hand.
