A Famous Spanish Shipwreck Coin from 1715

In July of 1715 a fleet of 12 ships left Havana, Cuba headed to Spain and loaded with treasure. Seven days later, near Vero Beach, Florida, the entire fleet disappeared in a hurricane with a loss of over a thousand lives. Miraculously many of their shipmates managed to reach shore, floating on the wreckage of the ships. Their accounts of the storm helped to pinpoint the location of one of the greatest shipwrecks of all time.

In 1963 famous treasurer hunter Mel Fisher began bringing to the surface what was still left in the seas of the treasure of silver and gold cob coins. Even as recently as a few years ago treasure is still found at this famous shipwreck site.
