| Additional information |
The Santa Lucía was a Spanish galleon lost off Bermuda in 1595, part of a fleet under General Antonio Navarro attempting to navigate the treacherous reefs that would eventually earn the islands their reputation as the "Isle of Devils." Bermuda's wreck-themed platinum bullion series capitalizes on the island's exceptionally rich underwater archaeological record — over 300 documented wrecks within its waters, a density almost unmatched in the Atlantic.
At 155.52 grams of .9995 platinum, this is a significant bullion commitment for a series aimed squarely at collector-investors rather than circulators. The 2007 date places it deep within the pre-financial-crisis platinum premium period, when the metal briefly traded above gold.
