Two Artifacts recovered from the 1714 Fleet

[cirelaw]

Found on a beach just south of Ft. Pierce inlet. Dated and counterstamp on reverse for King Philip iv and dated 1690, Mined in Bolivia. The governor found out the ingots short. He executed the assayer and certified only those that were correct by small counterstamp that can be easily! Somehow it passed attention with an obvious crack. The piece of '8' is certified. I havent seen another.~~~Eric
