Executive pen-holder made of a clump (fallen stack) of 12 Spanish colonial bust 8R Charles III (top one dated 1780) plus 1 Mexico City, Mexico, bust 8R, assayer FF (probably 1783) mounted obverse-side down on a crudely cut piece of black granite, with framed certificate. 1672 grams total. Definitely a conversation piece, with rather a nice clump of coins (the top one uncorroded and fully detailed), small plaque that says "El Cazador / 1784" above the single coin with reverse up (brown-toned and corroded around edge). With original certificate from the salvagers, matted and framed. Recovered from: Cazador, sunk in 1784 off New Orleans
