Spanish Coins for Sale

SPANISH COLONIAL GOLD AND SILVER COB TYPE COINS FOR SALE, NEW LIST AND PICTURES COMMING SOON

Not long after Columbus discovered the 'New World,' vast amounts of gold and silver were discovered in Mexico, Central and South America. Once turned into coins, Spanish fleets then transported the gold and silver coinage along a northern route through the Gulf of Mexico along the Florida coast for delivery to the King and Queen of Spain. Often, these fleets would encounter danger - running into hurricanes - losing lives, ships and the precious cargo. The coins listed below are some of the coins that were lost at sea and then recovered over the years. This authentic gold and silver cob-type coinage represents the coins that are referred to in the pirate movies and books. These coins are the real thing. Picture yourself owning a piece of real history - history as early as the time of Columbus.
