Description

El Cazador 8 Reale
Silver 8 reale from the Wreck of the El Cazador which sank on a journey from Veracruz, Mexico to the port of New Orleans.  Had the El cazador made it to New Orleans, the map of today's United States would be radically altered.  Because the ship sank, King Charles the Third of Spain was forced to sell the Territory back to the French, who flipped it to the United States.  What an amazing piece of history!!!!
