Original shape of this hand cut Spanish silver "Piece of 8"is interesting and incidental. The Spanish Crown required the silver purity to be over 93% and cut to a specific weight, shape never mattered. Recovered from our 1715 Fleet shipwreck site south of Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Love how the bezel follows the unique shape of the coin. Makes an eye-catching signature piece that will illicit a lot of curiosity and conversation.
