Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, date and king not visible, assayer MF, in conglomeration with four tiny glass trade beads, ex-Ponterio. 27.53 grams total. Sturdy piece of white-tan coral with moderately corroded coin embedded inside (as found), assayer visible but little else, the tubular cross-sections of tiny beads clearly visible in the encrustation, a small but unique display. Pedigreed to the Mike Carulli Collection, with photo-certificate, and to the Ponterio auction of June 1996, with original lot-tag 1340. Recovered from: Dodington, sunk in 1755 off South Africa
