Pirate Coin Treasure Piece of Eight Authentic 2R cob set solid 14K gold pendant
The authentic Spanish silver piece of eight coin pendant pictured is the one you will receive. It is set into a solid 14K gold pendant bezel. This type of coin is unique in its shape and striking. Therefore no two of these coins will ever be exactly the same. Yet, amazingly, for each denomination, the weight is almost exactly the same. They were hand-made, mostly by the indigenous Indians of the New World, cut from the end of a refined silver bar, then clipped. Heated, and hand struck between two crudely made engraved dies. Filed to the exact requisite weight. Of silver, according to the denomination. They made them in denominations of 1/2, 1, 2, 4, and 8 Reales and they were called “Pieces of Eight” or Cob coins (meaning end of the bar). Depending on the mint and the era, the obverse bears the Coat of Arms of the reigning Spanish King or the Pillars of Hercules over the waves of the sea with the Latin warning: PLUS ULTRA meaning, “Spain owns all that is beyond the oceans”. The reverse usually has, in varying styles, a Jerusalem cross. This coin was recovered from the “Rimac” river in Lima, Peru. The river was the transportation from the silver mines in the New World to the ocean where they were then loaded onto the treasure galleons to be sent back to the Old World. For a period of several hundred years, residents and sailors would toss in a coin for safe passage or good fortune. Over the centuries, the mud banks of the river have captured and preserved thousands of Spanish silver coins.

8-Piece Great Britain Gold Sovereign Coin Design Set Eight Different Types
8-Piece Great Britain Gold Sovereign Coin Design Set – Eight Different Types! About Gold Sovereigns First introduced in 1489, the Gold Sovereign has become one of the most famous and collectible coins in world history. The gold coins were first minted under the rule of King Henry VII. Each coin had a nominal value of one Pound Sterling and weighed about half an ounce. Gold Sovereigns were originally issued in 23-carat gold (95.83% pure), but the composition was modified to 22-carat gold (91.67% pure). The latter is the same alloy used to produce American Gold Eagles. The British Empire established numerous mint branches around the world, each producing large quantities of Gold Sovereigns. However, many of these coins were pulled from circulation and melted down over the years. By the 1940s, Gold Sovereigns had shifted from being circulated coins to becoming a bullion item. In fact, the UK continued producing them as bullion pieces. These coins remain one of the world&###x2019;s preferred means of owning gold.
