A look at a cob recovered from the wreck of the Concepcion which sank in 1641 off the cost of Hispaniola ( Dominican Republic). This was a significant wreck serving the Spanish with a loss of over 100 tons of silver and gold treasure.
The coin is a small glimpse into this wreck, but we take a look more so for the proper attribution of the coin which was listed by the auctioneer and the salvors as a 1641, but is in favor a 1641/0, and or 41 over 40.
Assayer is Pedro Bezerra, the primary assayer for coins recovered from this wreck. The coin itself is of course dated, the year of the wreck making it a far more appealing coin.
