THIS coin is a BEAST! WHAT A UNIQUE JUMBO COIN AND BEZEL COMBO!!
Coin alone weighs 26.8 grams and is very large (see picture for dimensions). Add the one-of-a-kind custom made 14K Gold Dagger Bezel and it weighs 37.71 grams. This 8 Reale coin is so rare because it is almost perfectly circular in size, is very large, has an Assayer mark of B with a Grade 1 designation.
As you can see in photos, the clarity displays very fine detail and both the coin and bezel both just look spectacular together. If you are looking for a JUMBO coin that says BEAST all over it, this is the one.. The gold bezel is custom made to fit this coin by one of the original Atocha jewelers. The daggers (swords) surround the coin from top to bottom. There is no other like it.
The dagger handles and detail is just spectacular. What an adornment this bezel makes to this Atocha artifact.Since this coin was made in approximately 1600 it is well over 400 years old already! For many, the smaller 2 or 4 Reales coins are the most desirable for pendant jewelry because of their smaller size. For others, this LARGE 8 reale coin is exactly what their looking for.
Make no mistake, it clearly makes a bold statement to whomever wears it. It has been fully museum certified and verified with an original Certificate of Authenticity. TRULY an exciting and rare coin for the investor, collector and rare artifact jewelry lover.
The official certificate also arrives in a handmade "Lobster Trap Frame". It is put together from real wood lobster traps actually used and then retired in Key West..
