 Atocha Coin Jewelry

The Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Atocha, struck a reef and sank on September 6, 1622, during a raging hurricane near the Florida Keys.  Mel Fisher and his company Treasure Salvors, Inc., discovered the main wreck site on July 20, 1985 and ultimately recovered over 160,000 silver Spanish colonial coins.  The Atocha has the distinction of being the richest Spanish treasure galleon recovered to date.

Certificates of Authenticity accompany all Atocha Shipwreck treasure coin jewelry.  View a typical original Atocha certificate of authenticity.
