    THE EL CAZADOR SHIPWRECK!
    RARE & HISTORIC!
    1783
    Spanish Colonial Eight Reales
    FROM THE
    Mexico City, Mint.
    A MUST-HAVE FOR ANYONE WITH A PASSION FOR THE RICH HISTORIC COINAGE OF THE SPANISH COLONIES!
    ___________________________________
    EL CAZADOR was a Spanish Brig of War sent to New Orleans to rescue the floundering economy of The Spanish-Controlled Colonies. Loaded down, mostly with newly-minted Silver 8 Reales Coins from Mexico City, it never reached its destination and New Orleans eventually came under France's Control.
    In 1993, near the mouth of The Mississippi River, a fishing trawler, Known as "The Mistake", began pulling up numerous Silver Coins in its nets. By the time licensed Salvage Crews finished, over 400,000 Mexican 8 Reales were brought up, along with another 50,000 smaller denominations.
    ALSO OF HISTORIC IMPORTANCE....
    Even decades after the newly-formed United States of America purchased the Louisiana Territory from the French, coins like this were presented and accepted as U.S. DOLLARS until the late 1850's.
    THIS IS A GREAT HISTORIC KEEPSAKE!
    It should be a nice pickup for a passionate enthusiast of Colonial Shipwreck Coinage.
    WITH A REASONABLE STARTING BID!
    Good Luck!
