This coin has a fascinating story to tell and is a must-have for any collector or history enthusiast. The El Cazador was a Spanish brig that sailed from New Orleans in January 1784 and was never heard from again. It was declared missing at sea in June of that year, and for over two centuries, its fate remained a mystery. That is until 1993 when Captain Jerry Murphy made a remarkable discovery. While fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, his net reeled in silver coins with Spanish mint marks and the year 1783, instead of fish. The unexpected discovery of the El Cazador and its cargo of silver coins was a momentous occasion in the world of shipwreck treasure hunting.
