TALES OF THE ATOCHA
These coins are made with a portion of silver from a silver bar discovered on the Nuestra Señora de Atocha, a Spanish treasure galleon and the most widely known vessel of a fleet of ships that sank in a hurricane off the Florida Keys in 1622. On July 20, 1985, after more than 15 years, Mel Fisher's dream was achieved, and Atocha's mother lode was located. Thousands of artifacts, silver coins, gold coins, many in near mint condition, period and earlier amazing Spanish objects and wares, exquisite jewelry set with precious stones, gold chains, disks, and various armaments. These and more were discovered by Mel Fisher and his "Golden Crew" recovering the truly priceless historical and cultural heritage of the world. This re-creation silver coin is an exact duplicate of a silver reale coin salvaged from the Atocha by Mel Fisher and his crew.
