This piece has a beautiful and bold look to it, a large odd shape that gives this coin a lot of character. The coin itself is made from the silver bars recovered from the Atocha and comes with a certificate stating that. I use moulds from the original coins to get the print. This is a replica but actually made from the silver from the Atocha. The frame around is SOLID 14KT GOLD. a large, heavy and beautiful piece of history.
