Large clump of ten cob 8 reales (probably all Mexico City, Mexico, Philip IV) with coral and shells attached, encrusted as found. 277 grams total, roughly 3" x 2" x 1-1/2". Impressive display of dark but solid coins with lots of bright white coral tinged with green mostly on one side and with small shell intact on the other (stands up nicely with the shell as a base), no coin details visible (completely uncleaned) but presumed to be Mexican by shape. With certificate. Recovered from: Concepcion, sunk in 1641 off Hispaniola
