Complete gold "finger" bar #38, 478 grams, marked with fineness XXIII: (23.5K) and serial number 104, from the Santa Margarita (1622). 6-3/4" x 7/8" x 3/8". Boldly engraved fineness, slightly lighter inscribed serial number, stamp "38" applied by salvagers on bottom, a bit longer and flatter than most of this type, which all lack assayer's "bites" and therefore were either contraband (unlikely because of the markings) or belonged to the church or the crown. From the Santa Margarita (1622), with Fisher photo-certificate #38-M-80 and hand-signed bill of sale from Kane Fisher dated April 7, 1983.

Estimate: $20000
