Silver "splash" ingot with coral and Mexican 8R cob encrusted onto one side. 313 grams, approx. 4" x 5". Unique artifact with beautifully preserved coin facing shield-side out, with clear mintmark oM and denomination 8, backed by a patch of white, tan and greenish coral impregnating the bubbly surface of a crudely shaped ingot, whose other side is of a totally different, almost ribbed texture, also laden with coral, with natural hole in center also coral-coated, a one-of-a-kind item that displays so well the whim of the sea. From the Concepcion (1641), with Sea Treasures photo-certificate.
