SPANISH COLONIAL, mints uncertain, clump of two cob 8 reales "biscuits," kings not visible, assayers not visible, encrusted as found. 53.93 grams total. A very neat little display consisting of two fairly solid coins that are entirely encased in dark, shelly encrustation and positioned (as found) with one leaning on the other, with a prominent "slipper" shell stuck on top of one of the coins, somewhat rare as these things usually get broken apart and cleaned. Pedigreed to our Auction #13 (May 2013) and our Auction #24 (November 2018), with original lot-tag 1868. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, sunk off the east coast of Florida
