| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a detailed depiction of the Nuestra Señora de Atocha, the Spanish treasure galleon lost in 1622, rendered in high relief against a textured ocean-floor field scattered with coins, ingots, and maritime artifacts. A large silver bar fragment recovered from the wreck is incorporated into the design, serving as an authentic relic element embedded within the coin's surface. The legend 'NUESTRA SEÑORA DE ATOCHA 1622' is inscribed in the field, commemorating the year of the vessel's sinking. The overall composition conveys the historical and maritime significance of one of the most celebrated treasure shipwrecks in history. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Nuestra Señora de Atocha sank in a 1622 hurricane off the Florida Keys while carrying an illegal surplus of silver and gold beyond its manifest — contraband loaded by merchants bribing officials to avoid taxation. Mel Fisher's 1985 recovery of the wreck, after a sixteen-year search, produced over 40 tons of silver and gold artifacts. The find triggered years of litigation between Fisher and the State of Florida before the Supreme Court ruled the wreck lay in federal, not state, waters.
