Limited-edition silver 1-oz "restrike" of a Mexican 8 reales Royal (galano) 1621 D struck ca. 1985 at the Mexico City Mint using silver from melted-down ingots from the Atocha (1622), housed in original plastic holder with small certificates. This is basically a Mexican 8-reales Royal restrike, as the design is completely accurate for a 1621 specimen, yet it is clearly not intended to deceive and comes housed in a special Lucite holder that is embossed with GENUINE LOST SILVER TREASURE OF THE ATOCHA (showing the coin inside a fanciful treasure chest) accompanied by a small certificate of authenticity explaining that the silver used to make the coin came from the Atocha (presumably from one of the huge silver bars) and that the coin was officially "restruck" at the Casa de Moneda in Mexico City, complete with a mint official's signature at the bottom (unfortunately undated but believed to be shortly after the 1985 "Mother Lode" recovery), with mintage limited to 10,000 pieces.
