Original Spanish handstruck silver coin recovered by Mel Fisher's crew in 1985 from the wreck of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha. Sank in 1622 west of the Florida Keys. Coin is the size of a silver dollar with partial strike of Lions of Leon and Castles of Castile in the quadrants of the cross. Coin is worn down due to the interaction with the sea water.
Coin pendant is set in a handcrafted setting of 14K solid gold. As Mel Fisher always said, "Today's the Day!"
