Flat gold disk (contraband), 578 grams, 12K-15K (estimated), from the Santa Margarita (1622). Approx. 3-1/2" in diameter and 3/8" thick. A tidy, heavy disk of pale gold with streaks of red, its top surface devoid of markings but with ribbons of metal-flow, and its bottom smoother except for two prominent gas-bubbles and a modern circular stamp that says TREASURE SALVORS / 1980 around an Old English letter M monogrammed with an F in its center (for Mel Fisher), the first such stamping we have ever seen, in addition to the bar number (39). From the Santa Margarita (1622), with Fisher photo-certificate #39-M-80 in elegant frame.
