Gold disk, 179 grams, marked with small crowned-C tax stamp and X:: fineness, from the 1715 Fleet. 2" in diameter and 5/16" thick. Smooth top (just a few pits from casting shrinkage) but rough bottom, the latter with bold markings that match the Charles I ingots from 1500s sources (like the ca.-1528 "Tumbaga wreck," but also see lot 231 in this auction), yet not unprecedented from the 1715 Fleet (perhaps an old consignment on the Fleet?), this piece a very nice size and weight for display without huge expense. Certified by Conch Coin Co. (Bill Pearson) as from the San Roman of the 1715 Fleet.

Estimate: $7000
