Certified Prime Select by ANACS, No. 70049717. Uncirculated 18th Century Silver! The El Cazador, a Spainish brigantine of war, was lost without a trace in the winter of 1784 while on route from Vera Cruz Mexico to the port of New Orleans. The wreck site was accidentally discovered in 1993 by a fishing vessel in the Gulf of Mexico. The cargo was 800,000 Silver Spainish Reales from the Mexico City mint, intented to stabalize the Spainish monetary system in colonial North America. Her loss contributed to Spain's eventual conveyance of Louisiana to France's Napolean in 1880. Three years later in 1803 Napolean sold Louisiana to the United States. The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States of America. Lots of "what if" possibilities, thus dubbed "The Wreck that Changed the World". 1783-MO in Uncirculated Condition. Pillar Type, Silver 1/2 Reale. 226 Year Old Antique. 18th Century Silver with Historic Significance. Pictures are of the actual coin you will receive. Diameter is 17.9 mm (same as a US Dime).
