Offered here is a fascinating piece of genuine shipwreck treasure: a 1782 Mo FF Mexico City 1/2 Real of King Charles III, authenticated and encapsulated by NGC with the designation SHIPWRECK EFFECT – HOLED and pedigreed to the Atlantic Sands Shipwreck.This Spanish Colonial silver coin was struck at the Mexico City Mint in 1782, during the reign of Charles III. Spanish reales circulated extensively throughout the Americas during the Colonial and Early American periods.What makes this particular example especially compelling is its documented shipwreck provenance.
