Owner Comments:
This is the 1783 1/2 Reale from the El Cazador ship wreck. Although the El Cazador is not the most prominent shipwreck in maritime history it did play a significant role in the history of the Spanish new world due to its sinking prior to reaching New Orleans. My goal is to obtain each of the denominations of 1783 (1/2R, 1R, 2R, 4R, & 8R) which is also the year the ship sank.
