Atocha Gold Escudos Treasure Coin, Gold Coins Recovered By Mel Fisher

Atocha Gold Coins

Atocha gold coins are rare finds and seldom encountered in the market place today. In total, there were less than 150 gold coins recovered from the wreck site over the last thirty years, nearly all pocket change of the wealthy and all but three minted in mainland Spain. Atocha coins are supplied with the original photo type Certificate of Authenticity and a booklet "Shipwrecks and Their Coins: Volume 1 - 1622 Spanish Treasure Fleet" that provides details about the fleet and its coins.

This is an excellent specimen for those desiring the best and rarest of Atocha artifacts.
