This release from Elemetal’s Shipwreck Series delivers twenty ounces of silver with a story: ten 2 oz high-relief rounds honoring the Nuestra Señora de Atocha, the Spanish treasure galleon that sank off the Florida Keys in 1622 and yielded one of history’s richest salvage finds. The full tube arrives inside a lockable wooden treasure chest, with the series limited to 1,000 chests per design.
Key Features:
- Includes ten 2 oz rounds of .999 fine silver, twenty troy ounces total
- First Release in the Shipwreck Series by Elemetal
- Struck in high relief by Elemetal, an ISO-accredited U.S. mint
- Design: a Spanish colonial cob, with crowned shield motifs on one face and a quartered cross on the other
- Ships in a mint tube inside a wooden chest with hasp, working lock, and keys
- Limited series of 1,000 chests per design
Each round reimagines the silver reales that filled the Atocha’s hold. One face carries a quartered cross dividing castles and rampant lions, the arms of Castile and León, ringed by a border of bold dots in the irregular style of hand-struck cobs. The other face presents the crowned Habsburg shield with denomination and assayer marks beside it, faithful to the crude, character-rich strikes Spanish colonial mints produced under sail-era deadlines. Deep high relief gives every device the raised, chunky presence of treasure lifted from the seabed, while modern .999 fineness replaces the rough colonial alloy.
The presentation completes the theme. Rounds arrive stacked in an Elemetal mint tube, secured inside a stained wooden treasure chest with metal corner fittings, a hinged hasp, and a working padlock with keys, burned with the Shipwreck Series crossed-swords insignia. It is storage and display in one, ready for a desk, shelf, or safe.
Twenty ounces of high-relief silver, genuine shipwreck lore, and a chest limited to 1,000 examples make this an easy gift and a conversation piece for any stacker. Order your Atocha Treasure Chest from Hero Bullion today and claim your share of the fleet.
