THE ATOCHA: SHIPWRECKS and Their Coins: Vol 1-The 1622 Spanish Treasure Fleet

Description: This handbook was prepared as an introduction to the fascinating field of "Shipwreck Numismatics" -- the study of shipwrecks and their coins which they yield to divers today...and those times gone by. Opening with a nutshell accounting of the loss of these Spanish ships and fleets, the handbook continues with an overview of the coin types which have been, and expected to be, recovered from these ancient hulks. Profusely illustrated with coin "diagrams" and black and white photos of actual recovered pieces, this primer takes you step-by-step through the understanding of the "hieroglyphics" found minted into the two sides of the Spanish pieces-of-eight, (Reales), escudos (Doubloon,) and their smaller sub-denominations.
