<h1>The famed Pirate Piece of Eight in an Heirloom Pendant</h1> <h2>Pirates! Perhaps no other class of seafarers is quite so famous – or infamous! </h2> <p><span style="color: #990000;"> <i>Please Note: <strong>This is an authentic Consolacion Shipwreck Treasure Coin</strong>, and you will receive the exact pendant in the photographs and description.</i></span></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #990000;">FOR PENDANT SIZE SEE COIN DETAILS BELOW</span></strong></p> <p>But tying shipwreck coins to actual pirates is rare – most treasure galleons sank due to hurricanes, poor navigation or lack of upkeep.  But the Treasure of Isla de Muerto (The Treasure of Dead Man’s Island) is the exception… for her cache of glittering treasure went to the bottom because of – yes, you guessed it – PIRATES!</p> <p><span style="color: #990000;">This Piece of Eight, salvaged from the wreckage of the doomed Spanish galleon Consolacion, is especially rare – very few 1 Reales were minted compared to the larger, silver-dollar-sized 8 Reale.</span></p> <h2>Your Consolacion Shipwreck 1 Reale Pirate Piece of Eight</h2> <ul> <li>Date: 1663 - RARE DOUBLE DATED - SEE NOTES BELOW</li> <li>Denomination: 2 Reale</li> <li>Ruler: Philip IIII of Spain</li> <li>Assayer: E</li> <li>Mint: Potosi, Upper Viceroyalty of Peru (Modern Day Bolivia)</li> <li>Coin Metal: Silver</li> <li>Bezel Metal: 14K Gold</li> <li>Obverse (Front): Jerusalem Cross</li> <li>Reverse: (Back): The Pillars and Waves (The Pillars of Hercules and Waves of the Atlantic Ocean)</li> <li>A<span data-mce-fragment="1">rticulating Nautical Shackle Bail Interior Diameter: Will accommodate chain or leather necklace up to <strong>6.2 mm</strong></span> </li> <li><strong>Pendant Size including bezel: 1 1/8" Across, 1 5/8" Tall - the width of a  50 cent piece - this planchet is flatter and wider than a standard 2 reale - pretty cool! </strong></li> </ul> <p><span style="color: #990000;"><strong>Robert's Notes:</strong> Sweet cross and Pillars and Waves and 2 excellent dates  - most of the time only one is visible. P mint marks, E assayer's initials, and partial  PLV SVL TRA (PLUS ULTRA - More Beyond - see below). </span></p> <p><span style="color: #990000;">Two reales are very rare from Consolacion. This is a wider planchet, set in the bezel it is the width of a 50 cent piece, just not a heavy. Very desirable.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #990000;">It is from the inside of a clump of coins which was once part of a "treasure chest," which preserved its detail. See below for a link to learn how to read this coin.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #990000;">Truly regal for the pirate queen or king!</span></p> <h3><span>The Spanish Cob Coin Pillars and Waves Design</span></h3> <p><span>While each coin does not have every detail, the most striking feature is the two upright “pillars” which represent the Pillars of Hercules; the waves below, the Atlantic Ocean. Starting in the 10 o’clock position there is a “P” for Potosi, next is a number for the denomination. Next is the assayer’s initial.  The two or three numerals above the center wave are the date. Through the center runs the phrase PLV SVL TRA – “Plus Ultra” – More Beyond the Pillars of Hercules. On the reverse is the crusaders cross, with lions and castles in the four quadrants representing the early Spanish kingdoms of Leon and Castile. Coins minted in the 1700s will have three digits, i.e. 737 for 1737. </span></p> <p><a href="https://cannonbeachtreasure.com/blogs/news/how-to-read-a-spanish-piece-of-8-pillars-waves-edition" title="LEARN HOW TO READ A POTOSI PILLARS AND WAVES SPANISH COIN HERE" target="_blank"><span><strong>LEARN HOW TO READ A PILLARS AND WAVES COIN HERE&gt;</strong></span></a></p> <p><a title="The Wreck of Consolacion and the Treasure of Isla de Muerto" href="https://cannonbeachtreasure.com/pages/consolacion-1681" target="_blank">Learn more about the Consolacion shipwreck and pirates... click here&gt;</a></p> <p><a title="Spanish Treasure Coin Jewelry" href="https://cannonbeachtreasure.com/collections/spanish-coins">To see our complete collection of Spanish "Piece of Eight" treasure coins, click here&gt;</a></p> <h3>Your Isla de Muerto Pendant Comes Complete with:</h3> <ul> <li>Our 100% Authentic Lifetime Guarantee</li> <li>A Detailed, Customized, Multi-Page, Full Color Photo Certificate of Authenticity Researched and Written by Robert Lewis Knecht </li> <li>10 Page Potosi Mint Historic Brief by Robert</li> <li>The Coins of the Lost Galleons Book</li> <li>Treasure Hunters Gazette Booklet</li> <li>Mini Museum Display for when you are not wearing your treasure</li> <li>A Treasure Jewelry Care Card</li> </ul>
