El Cazador - The Shipwreck That Changed The World
Loading...
Uploaded by 1800TheMint on Apr 16, 2007
The Age of Exploration...Simply to utter the phrase is to summon images of majestic ships in full sail, laden with riches and captained by brave souls, ever-alert for signs of plundering pirates.
These are the forces that shaped the New World during the Era of Discovery. But historians agree that perhaps the greatest infl uence of all did not come sailing over the waves. Instead, it was a ship lost to the briny deep that paved the way for the growth of our own fledgling nation.
That ship was the El Cazador, "The Hunter," a Spanish Brig of War loaded with a vast treasury of freshly-minted silver and bound for the New World. We may never know what mysterious force sank her. But it is certain that her lost treasure holds the key to the birth of the nation we know today.
Every coin tells a story...but perhaps no coin in history tells a more riveting tale than the coins of El Cazador, "the shipwreck that changed the world."

I just bought a Grade 1 coin down in key west, it's absolutely beautiful...from a private collector not this franklin mint thing,

Ah, historical infomercials.
Fail.

Don't buy these, they're a complete rip off. I bought 2 cleaned 8 Reales and one 4 reales for 20 bucks each, and three four coin "clumps" for 15 bucks a coin. That's what they're worth. The only thing I didn't get is their "deluxe display cabinet".

i also have one of these coins it's really cool to look at.
