Denomination set of Mexico City, Mexico, 8-4-2-1-1/2 reales, Charles II and Philip V, assayer J or not visible, housed in custom wooden box made from the Tres Puentes of the Spanish 1733 Fleet (Florida Keys). 45.46 grams total, the box 6-1/2" long. Decent coins (each at least slightly corroded but nicely toned and with clear shields and crosses, the 4R with bold full oMJ) but main attraction is the custom-made box with hand-carved depressions fit around each coin, copper-strapped on the outside to make it look like a treasure chest. Recovered by Carl Fismer in 1984 from the Regla ("Cabin wreck"), with certificates. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
