Small silver "plata corriente" piece cut from a "splash" ingot, 42.4 grams, ex-ca.-1554 wreck off Santo Domingo, ex-Ponte. 42.40 grams. Roughly 1¼" x 1½". Curiously L-shaped piece due to breaking around a bubble in the original ingot whose outer edge makes up one straight side on this piece, unfortunately not broken off in such a way as to include a tax stamp or any other markings but still interesting and desirable as from what is believed to be a Spanish 1554 Fleet ship sunk off Santo Domingo and sold by Ponterio ca. 2007. From an unidentified ca.-1554 wreck off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, pedigreed to the Luis R. Ponte Collection and Sedwick Auction 11, with original lot-tag 210.
