Most shipwreck coins were recovered from Spanish galleons lost at sea while transporting the mineral wealth of the New World back to Spain. Typically two treasure fleets sailed to the New World each year over the almost three centuries that Spain maintained its power over the colonies. Hazards were significant, ranging from pirate attack to devastating storms known today as hurricanes. Not surprisingly, a fair amount of the colonies wealth of gold and silver came to rest on the ocean floor, giving us the opportunity to own an artifact from a highly significant time period - the discovery and colonization of the New World.
The highly publicized salvage operations of the Atocha, led by Mel Fisher and his company Treasure Salvors Inc., has elevated the wreck and its treasure to world renowned fame. Due to the Atocha's popularity, we maintain an additional website at atochatreasurecoins.com dedicated only to Atocha material.

Atocha Shipwreck Coins
The Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Atocha, struck a reef and sank on September 6, 1622, during a raging hurricane near the Florida Keys. Mel Fisher and his company Treasure Salvors, Inc., discovered the main wreck site on July 20, 1985 and ultimately recovered over 160,000 silver Spanish colonial coins. The Atocha has the distinction of being the richest Spanish treasure galleon recovered to date.
