Lima, Peru, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de la Torre, P-8 (flat top) to left, *-oD to right. S-L4; KM-14; CT-147. 19.6 grams. Formerly known as the "Green Cabin wreck" directly off Disney's Vero Beach resort, this wreck yielded mostly small quantities of generally low-grade coins, and while the present coin is corroded, it still shows clear details all over (in fact making it one of the best examples from this wreck), including full shield and crown and cross, P-8 and *-oD, and most of the legends, the fields lightly toned. With Tony Jaggers photo-certificate. Recovered from: San Martin, sunk in 1618 off the east coast of Florida
