This was part of my 16th b-day present from my parents
The coin and pendant were made from silver and gold bars from the shipwreck of Nuestra Senora de Atocha.
This brief history is off of the certificate that came with it.....
The Atocha tragically ended her voyage on a reef of the Florida Keys on September 6, 1622, taking with her 264 souls many of whom were of royal blood. She scattered over 47 troy tons of treasure over 50 miles of ocean bottom. There were only 5 people to survive the wreck.
Keep in mind that this piece of silver is over 380 years old!
