More info on our Atocha Silver replica coins:

This pendant features a detailed reproduction of a Spanish Colonial silver reales.

The coin is cast in 100% Atocha silver, derived from a pure 80 troy lb silver bar (pictured above) recovered from the famous Nuestra Señora de Atocha, which sank off the coast of Key West, Florida, in 1622, and recovered from the wreck site by Mel Fisher in 1985

It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Bernard Reller, American Numismatic Association member #R159127.

The silver bar we use to cast our replicas was donated to the Department of History at the University of Florida by Dr. Eugene Lyon, the historian whose research in Seville, Spain, led Mel Fisher to the wreck site. Sale of these replica artifacts helps support the department. "Today's the day!" - Mel Fisher
