Description:Spain 2 Reales Silver Coin ca 1620 - Atocha TreasureShipThis is a SCARCE 17th Century Silver Coin from Spain. This Spanish Coin was struck in Silver for 2 Reales circa 1620. The Coin features Coat of Arms on the obverse and reverse.This Coin was salvaged from the sunken ATOCHATREASURESHIP in 1985.

Nuestra Señora de Atocha("Our Lady of Atocha") was the most famous of a fleet ofSpanishships that sank in 1622 off theFlorida Keyswhile carrying copper, silver, gold, tobacco, gems, jewels, jewelry, and indigo from Spanish ports atCartagenaandPorto BelloinNew Granada(currentColombiaandPanama, respectively) andHavanabound for Spain. The ship was named for the parish of Atocha inMadrid.

An unfortunate series of complications kept theAtochain Veracruz before she could rendezvous in Havana with the vessels of the Tierra Firme (Mainland) Fleet. Thetreasurearriving by mule to Panama City was so immense that summer in 1622 that it took 2 months to record and load the precious cargo on theAtocha.[1]After still more delays in Havana, what was ultimately a 28-ship convoy did not manage to depart for Spain until 4 September 1622, six weeks behind schedule.

On 6 September, theAtochawas driven by a severehurricaneonto thecoral reefsnear theDry Tortugas, about 35 miles (56 kilometers) west ofKey West. With herhullbadly damaged, the vessel quickly sank, drowning everyone on board except for three sailors and two slaves.

American treasure hunterMel Fisherand a team of sub-contractors, funded by investors and others in ajoint venture, searched thesea bedfor theAtochafor 16 and a half years; Fisher had earlier recovered portions of the wreckedcargoof the sister shipSanta Margaritain 1980. He also proposed the idea to several other potential helpers who were discouraged by the fact that this dangerous professional diving job was at minimum wage unless the ship was found. TheAtochawreck and its mother lode ofsilver,gold, andemeraldswas finally discovered in July 1985. It was Mel's son, Kane, who radioed the news to Treasure Salvors headquarters on the Florida coast, from the salvage boatDauntless.It is understood by experts that thesterncastle, the part of the ship that would hold most of the gold and rareMuzoemeralds, is still missing from the shipwreck. These and other valuable items would have been stored in the Captain's cabin for safekeeping in the rear part of theAtocha

The Coin comes with the Certificate of authenticity (COA) and is packaged as issued from Treasure Salvors in a Large 10"X 12" Foilder. Shipping and handling cost will be $3.50. International shipping will be $8.50. Please read our shipping policy below.A SCARCE 17TH CENTURY SILVER SPANISHTREASURESHIPCOIN FROMTHENUESTRASENORADEATOCHA !!!!
