1790 PTS-PR Bolivia 1 Real — NGC Atlantic Sands ShipwreckOffered here is a fascinating piece of genuine shipwreck treasure: a 1790 PTS-PR Bolivia 1 Real of King Charles IV, authenticated and encapsulated by NGC with the designation SHIPWRECK EFFECT and pedigreed to the Atlantic Sands Shipwreck.Struck at the historic Potosí Mint in 1790, this Spanish Colonial silver Real features the portrait of Charles IV on the obverse and the crowned Spanish arms between the Pillars of Hercules on the reverse.What makes this example particularly compelling is its documented shipwreck provenance.
