Gold "oro corriente" cut piece with tax stamps and partial letter-stamp, 82.57 grams, from an unidentified early 1500s wreck in the Caribbean. 1-3/4" x 1" x 1/4". Somewhat crude, with several knobs and rough surface on side with markings, which include a rectangular incuse showing an indecipherable letter and a pair of circular tax stamps with dotted borders, both ends smooth but probably cut and re-melted to eliminate sharp edges, the bottom more or less flat. From an unidentified early 1500s wreck in the Caribbean.

Estimate: $7500
