Small, cut gold piece from the Espadarte (1558), 13.74 grams. About 11/16" x 9/16" x 1/4". Rectangular corner-cut of a small, thin, disk of refined gold, traces of sediment and coral on surface, undoubtedly intended as a coin-like unit (4 escudos) and therefore of significant potential numismatic value. From the Espadarte (1558), with Arqueonautas certificate #IDM-006/002/952.
Estimate: $800 - 1200
