This stunning 1715 Fleet 300th Anniversary Spanish Gold Doubloon Coin Pendant is a rare and highly sought-after treasure. One of only 351 coins recovered on the 300th anniversary of the fateful sinking of the Spanish Treasure Fleet, this pendant carries with it a remarkable story. Lost in a hurricane off the coast of Florida in July 1715, the fleet’s cargo of gold, silver, and other valuables remained submerged for centuries. Recovered near Vero Beach, this two-escudo coin is a unique piece of history, now beautifully set in 18K gold.
The obverse showcases the crowned shield of the House of Bourbon, surrounded by a detailed legend, symbolizing the power of King Philip V and the vast reach of the Spanish Empire. On the reverse, the potent Jerusalem cross, flanked by fleur-de-lis in the quadrants, reflects the deep bond between Church and State during this period, all encased within intricate tressures.
Weighing 6.8 grams and about the size of a quarter, this Grade 1 coin is particularly desirable for its clear strike and unique shape. Handcrafted in 18K gold, it is a timeless piece of wearable history, made even more special by its scarcity—few of these doubloons are available for sale anywhere, making it a true collector's item and a family heirloom to cherish for generations.
