The annual traditional #silvergoldstackers Christmas Wish list challenge is in progress! Start anytime, preferably just before Christmas, novice or veteran Stacker, this is the time to share those hard to acquire, to find or to afford shiny silver that is of your heart’s deepest desires, revealed to the Hive world.
“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven.
Some of my readers may be aware of my keen interest in following news and events pertaining to shipwreck treasures. The saga of the Spanish 64 gun treasure galleon San Jose is billed as the Holy Grail of all shipwrecks.
I have a budding collection of shipwreck goodies; The Gairsoppa silver bar, El Cazador 4 Reales, North Song Ten Cash, and the SS Japan 1872cc American Trade Dollar. Any authentic coin from the San Jose would be an awesome addition!
However, I’m not holding my breath on any of those coins coming to market soon, so getting a 2022 $5 Niue 2 Troy oz. San Jose silver coin will do just fine and as the Day 6 silver of my 12 days of Christmas, as initiated by @silverd510
Her cargo is speculated to include as much as 11 million 8 Escudos to a weight of 8.8 million troy oz. AWG worth more than $11 Billion., along with various silver Reales, artifacts and emeralds from Potosi and Bolivia.
The San Jose assumed the role as the flagship of the Spanish treasure fleet of three Spanish warships with 14 merchant ships. On June 8th, 1807 they encountered a British squadron and during the engagement the powder magazine of the San Jose exploded destroying the ship before sinking, only 11 of the 600 crew survived.
There she rested for 300+ years somewhere off the Colombian coast off Baru Cartagena until a private enterprise SSA, Sea Search Armada claimed the discovery of what may be the San Jose in 1981, Of course the claim and contract between the Colombian Government and the SSA became mired in controversy and legalities until the wreck was finally deemed the property of Columbia. The identification of this wreck wasn’t confirmed but was not the San Jose.
In November 2015 another wreck was discovered at a different location by the Colombian navy using a remote vehicle. The Seville forged ornate bronze guns identified the wreck as the San Jose, and since then recovered artifacts and remote photos satiated historians, scholars, claimants, and the public as well as the world’s curiosity. With all the legal and diplomatic disputes finally set aside the Colombian navy is ready to resume with recovery operations of what will be both an archeological and economic treasure. ☠️

antiques celebration
And the antiqued finish of the obverse is done well giving it an aged appearance and adding to the depth of field.
Thanks for coming aboard @latinowinner
I like the look of the Coin, but why are the Face Values always too low...???
I don't think the designer was at fault here but the Mint Master often decides the denomination or the person above him. IT may just well be designed to confuse everyone.
🤔
I think their motto is "Keep them Confused"... They've been doing it to us for over 230 years... I think it's all about to end very soon... It's starting to become more and more obvious...
That is an absolutely fantastic wish list coin. 🎅🏻👍
And that is why this particular coin is on my wish list.
Thanks for dropping in @silverd510

Awesome depiction of the San Jose, and a stunning coin depicting this magnificent ship!🤗
Ornate, brass guns, this must’ve been a very impressive tall ship!😀
And impressive as the bait.
The Spanish warships were still outgunned, the San Jose's Captain ordered the the remaining ships to continue on while his flagship turn to engage the English squadron to distract and lure their pursuers away.
My theory is that the Spanish Captain scuttled the San Jose to deny the British the huge plunder and preserve his honor.
Cool!
Thanks for the support @silvertop

After they start pulling up boatloads of coins, you bet I will be keeping my eye out at Southby's and Heritage auction site publications. I figure that price will be obscene at first until they drop to a more reasonable nosebleed valuations.
Better start saving now. 😄
I agree, got to put apart some funds to be able to pick one up eventually!
Very awesome @kerrislravenhill! It would go perfect with your collection. Thanks for sharing and have a wonder and blessed Christmas Eve tomorrow!🤗💜🎄🎁 !LADY

The coin is looking really good
It seem to be a valuable one
I'm not usually crazy on colored coins, few are exceptional and it does make me wonder what a Cameo finish version would look like before the color was applied?
