Description:
Up for sale is a Spanish colonial silver 2 Reales "cob" treasure coin, minted in Mexico City between 1690 and 1715. This fascinating piece of history dates to the Golden Age of Piracy and the famous era of the 1715 Spanish Treasure Fleet.

Please note that this coin is underweight at 2.52 grams (standard minted weight was historically around 6.8 grams). This weight reduction is typical for authentic cobs of this era due to heavy period clipping, extensive historical wear, or saltwater/environmental corrosion. It features a highly irregular, hand-hammered shape measuring between 17.3 mm and 19.6 mm.

This is an excellent, affordable entry piece for any shipwreck, pirate, or Spanish colonial numismatic collection.
