1715 San Martin Cabin Wreck 8 Reales Treasure Coin 14k Gold Bezel 67744

The Night the Fleet Died. The Coin That Survived.

On the night of July 31, 1715, a catastrophic hurricane struck a Spanish treasure fleet off the coast of Florida. All eleven ships were destroyed within hours, their hulls and precious cargo scattered along a twenty-mile stretch of what is now known as Florida's Treasure Coast. Over 1,000 sailors perished. The riches of the New World — gold, silver, emeralds, and artifacts — sank to the ocean floor, where most would remain for centuries.

This genuine 8 Reales Spanish cob coin was aboard the San Martín — known to modern salvors as the Green Cabin wreck, named for a landmark beach house that stood directly across from the wreck site near present-day Vero Beach, Florida. Minted at Mexico City, it was struck from New World silver and hand-hammered into its distinctive cob form before being loaded onto the doomed fleet. It survived the hurricane, the centuries, and the sea — and is now set in a handmade 14k gold bezel crafted in the Florida Keys, just miles from where the fleet met its end.

A coin that outlasted a hurricane, an empire, and four centuries of history. Now it's yours.
