Description: 1783-Mo FF Mexico Silver 2 Reales "El Cazador" Shipwreck - ANACS VF35! Great Details, Rare XF/AU Eye Appeal! Genuine. Spanish Colonial Empire, Mexico. Minted in Mexico City during the Reign of Spanish King Charles III. Excellent Silver Mexico 2 Reales from the "El Cazador" Shipwreck, One of the most Famous in the World! Sometimes called the shipwreck that changed American history, the story of the ill-fated El Cazador begins in New Orleans… In the 1770’s the Spanish controlled Louisiana Territory’s economy was failing, and so Charles III of Spain ordered captain Gabriel de Campos y Pineda to sail the Spanish brig of war, El Cazador (The Hunter), to Veracruz, New Spain (present day Mexico), on 20 October 1783. There she was to be loaded with silver Spanish coins, mostly 8 reales, “Pieces of Eight,” that were to be used to bolster the region’s economy. On 11 January 1784, El Cazador set sail for New Orleans and was never heard from again. Some historians speculate that had El Cazador made it to New Orleans, and its treasure been able to bolster the economy, Spain might not have given the territory back to France in 1801. And, in turn, the United States would not have been able to acquire it for 15 million dollars in 1803 (60 million francs) from the French. Remember, Napoleon was the Man in France in 1803 (The Napoleonic Wars raged from 1803-15), and the 60 million francs were supposed to be used for the construction of five new canals in France. Instead, Bonaparte spent the whole amount on his planned invasion of the United Kingdom, which, by the way, in case you missed it, was eventually scrapped. Two hundred years later, about 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico, the butterfish trawler, Mistake, was fishing in 300 feet of water when her net snagged something on the bottom. It was 2 August 1993. Captain Jerry Murphy and his crew held their breath as they retrieved the net to examine it for damage. As it was personally related to Robert by one of the salvors in 1994, when they got the net up and dumped the contents on the deck, debris and black clumps fell out. Thinking they were rocks, some of the crew started kicking them through the scuppers and back into the abyss. Then someone yelled “COINS! COINS” and, or course, all fishing stopped.
