Cut end of a gold bar #10, 70.86 grams, marked with fineness IIVX… (17-3/4K, stamped BACKWARDS), from the Atocha (1622), with original (1970s) photo-certificate. Roughly 1-1/4" x 1" x 3/8". The rounded end of a flat bar with two sharp cuts (one halfway broken) at an angle to each other, the top stamped with a circular tax stamp with dotted border and (on top of that) the usual Roman-numeral fineness, although in this case the numerals are backwards (either that or the V is upside down), with three dots (each a quarter karat) above (or below), a little bit polished but rare as a small cut from this wreck, and desirable for its old certificate. From the Atocha (1622), with hand-signed Fisher photo-certificate #10 dated May 20, 1976.
