Atocha Shipwreck Coins
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
shipwreck treasure
coins. Display your Atocha coin and
Certificate of Authenticity in our multiple sleeved
display folder
found on our "Atocha Treasure Coins" website.
