8 Reales Mexico 1791

Presented here is an extraordinary 1791 Mexican 8 reales coin, salvaged from the infamous Lutine shipwreck. This incredibly rare piece shows only light traces of saltwater exposure and retains remarkable detail, making it a truly attractive addition to any collection. Despite extensive contemporary salvage efforts—most notably up until 1938— a significant part of the treasure remains undiscovered. Artifacts and coins traced back to this historic shipwreck are exceptionally scarce and highly sought after by collectors worldwide. With only a limited number of Lutine shipwreck pieces entering the market in recent years, we are proud to offer this beautiful 8 reales from arguably one of the rarest shipwreck provenances.
