Spanish Colonial gold Disc-Shaped Cast Ingot ND, 39mm/123.85g. 19kt (16.02 SG). A circular, disk-shaped ingot of unknown, but likely Spanish Colonial origin. Stamped "XXI" with partial ornamental border. Well-made, with minor surface texture, but refined shape. Similar in appearance to several pieces recovered from the La Luz shipwreck, but of more detailed manufacture. Possibly from that wreck of the 1715 Plate Fleet. Minor encrustation inside the "XXI" stamp does suggest sea recovery. Sold as is, no returns.
