Beautiful vintage cob cut shipwreck coin cut perfectly around the cross for weight, home gold test 14 and 18k. Stamped Atacho 1622 on the reverse the cross is centered perfectly! Private appraiser "What you have is a replica/recreation of a Spanish Silver Reales “Cob” coin like the real ones recovered from the Spanish shipwreck of the Atocha that sank in 1622. It was found in 1985. The salvor, Mel Fisher recovered several hundred silver bars in excess of 80 pounds each. Some of the bars were melted down to make replica coins and jewelry. Now, some are made of solid silver with a bezel that is also silver but then gold plated to keep it affordable. They also made the bezels of solid 14k and 18k gold and if so there will be another stamp indicating solid or not. If the bezel is not stamped 14k or 18k, chances are it is not solid. I would have to use an XRF machine to tell if it is solid or not."
