Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip III, assayer B (5th period, rare with king's ordinal visible) or R (curved leg), probably not actually from this wreck. S-P14a, KM-10, CT-121. 25.9 grams. A very solid but apparently salvaged specimen, with full shield and cross, lightly corroded with spots of toning, but really too early for the Fleet and probably from the San Martin (1618) instead, despite the accompanying certificate. With original Treasure Salvors certificate from 1967 hand-signed by Mel Fisher. Recovered from: 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
