Historical Significance

The Atocha Copper Ingot Slice carries a profound historical significance. The Cuban mine at Caridad de Cobre produced 582 Royal copper ingots, used as ballast on the Atocha. This ingot slice was part of a cargo that weighed 30,000 pounds and was nestled near the stern of the Atocha, behind the mainmast. The unmarked, crudely cast ingots were poured into simple depressions in the ground, adding to the authenticity and rarity of this piece.
