Owner Comments:
When I first started scuba diving, I found 3 pesos in the Caribbean off the SW of Cozumel. I tucked them into my wetsuit and brought them to surface. They were relatively modern but they glistened at the bottom of the see and were near 100' of depth. Because 3 is my lucky number, I felt a reverence to the find. I can only guess they fell off a boat or were purposely thrown into the sea on a wish. Since that day, I have always wanted to own a Gold Peso. This is that coin. A very beautiful and old gold Peso to complement a unique find that always sits on the tip of memory bank.
