Gold disk, 216.4 grams, marked with fineness XIX-dot (19-1/4K), ex-1715 Fleet (Fisher certified). Approx. 2-1/2" in diameter. Outstanding color (nice rich gold), compact in size but notably exactly the weight of eight 8-escudos coins, with bold fineness stamped on its smooth and attractive top, the bottom thoroughly cratered from countless trapped bubbles, one of which (in the center) was so big as to create a crackled hump on the smooth side, prompting it to be certified by the Mel Fisher company (amusingly) as a "sombrero disk," many times rarer than 1622-Fleet ingots and nearly unique as fully Fisher-certified. From the 1715 Fleet, with original Fisher photo-certificate #MF65-007.
