Shipwrecked
Treasure Coin Pendants:
Claim your piece of history from the Spanish Main. These Spanish
Colonial 2 Reales cobs were from the mints of Potosi, Bolivia
and Lima, Peru, and were lost on April 18, 1743 with the wreck
of The Princess Louisa, and left undiscovered on the ocean
floor off the Cape Verde Islands for more than 250 years.
 
Although crudely struck, the obverse of
these cobs features a pillars and waves design (symbolixing the
Pillars of Hercules), the Latin words "Plus Ultra"
(more beyond), and the date, denomination, mint-mark, and assayer.
The reverse of these cobs features a bold cross (symbolizing
the union of Church and State), and the lions and castles symbolize
the merger of the medieval kingdom of Leon and Castille.
Imagine holding in your hand -- or giving
to a loved one -- one of these extraordinary pieces of history.
Each cob is mounted in a custom-crafted 14 karat yellow gold
bezel. Each is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity guaranteeing
that your coin came from The Princess Louisa, and a history
of the ship -- including extracts of the eyewitness account of
the ship surgeon, Stephen Lightfoot, and from the log of The
Winchester, the ship that accompanied The Princess Louisa.
This treasure is available on a very limited
basis, with two grades of coin available -- First Quality and
Second Quality. First Quality coins are extremely limited and
will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
