Most shipwreck coins were recovered from Spanish galleons lost at sea while transporting the mineral wealth of the New World back to Spain. Typically two treasure fleets sailed to the New World each year over the almost three centuries that Spain maintained its power over the colonies. Hazards were significant, ranging from pirate attack to devastating storms known today as hurricanes. Not surprisingly, a fair amount of the colonies wealth of gold and silver came to rest on the ocean floor, giving us the opportunity to own an artifact from a highly significant time period - the discovery and colonization of the New World.

The highly publicized salvage operations of the Atocha, led by Mel Fisher and his company Treasure Salvors Inc., has elevated the wreck and its treasure to world renowned fame. Due to the Atocha's popularity, we maintain an additional website at atochatreasurecoins.com dedicated only to Atocha material.

Atocha Coin Ring

On 15 July 1733, the New Spain Spanish Plate Flota, consisting of 21 ships, was caught in a severe hurricane while enroute to Spain within the narrow confines of the Straits of Florida. By morning (16th) all except one had grounded on the reefs of the Florida Keys, from Key Largo to Vaca Key. Salvage efforts started immediately and by year's end some 11 1/2 of the 13 million in Gold and Silver Pesos aboard the ill-fated ships had been recovered.
The Capitana El Rubi, Flagship of Lieutenant General Don Rodrigo de Torres y Morales, carried some 6 million in precious metals. Though this great ship has been sunk for 250 years it still yields treasure for the patient diver. Modern technology and studious research by hard-working, intrepid treasure hunters has resulted in the recovery of many items like the ring shown in replica above.
