Huge, 30-pound clump of approx. 500 Spanish colonial bust 8 reales of Charles IV, plus one loose coin from the same clump. Roughly 12" x 9" x 4". This museum piece is by far the most impressive clump we have ever offered, undoubtedly a full mint-bag of coins that stayed nearly intact, with all the coins solid and believed to be well detailed (as evidenced by the one coin that was removed and cleaned to show AU details and lovely toning) as preserved by thick encrustation in white, tan and green colors, the coins in multiple fallen stacks at angles to each other. If you have unlimited funds and have been waiting for the best artifact from this wreck, your time has come! Housed in padded, locking suitcase. Recovered from: Leocadia, sunk in 1800 off Punta Santa Elena, Ecuador
