I have one from the Atocha with a gold necklace bezel done by Mel Fishers jeweler. One of the first ones sold.

You have me beat. I do have a “piece of eight” that was minted in Potosi, Bolivia. I don’t remember the date as I have it stashed away. I bought maybe 45 years ago.

I had a 1715 coin but never an Atocha piece. I bet yours is beautiful. My husband is good friends with one of the guys who dove on the Atocha so I got to see a lot of what was brought up.
