This is an authentic silver cob coin salvaged from the 1715 Spanish Treasure Fleet, a fleet of 11 ships that were destroyed by a hurricane off the coast of Florida while transporting New World riches back to Spain. The coin was struck during the reign of King Felipe V (1700-1724) and displays the distinctive irregular shape characteristic of Spanish colonial cobs. It bears visible markings, including a mintmark and partial denomination, which suggest it originated from the Potosí (Bolivia) or Lima (Peru) Mint.

This coin is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Cobb Coin Company, a well-known entity specializing in the recovery and authentication of shipwreck treasure, verifying its provenance from the 1715 Fleet.
