Ok is a modern striking but made with "recovery silver" from Atocha and 1715 fleet silver, that's close enough for me :D

1622 Atocha 8 Reale 28 Grams Antiqued Poured Shipwreck Silver Cob Daniel Carr $$
1622 Atocha commemorative cob, antiqued finish. Struck on hand-poured .999 silver cobs
which contain amounts of Atocha silver and 1715 Fleet recovery silver. Nuestra Señora
de Atocha (Spanish: Our Lady of Atocha) was a Spanish treasure galleon and the most
widely known vessel of a fleet of ships that sank in a hurricane off the Florida Keys in 1622.
At the time of her sinking, Nuestra Señora de Atocha was heavily laden with copper,
silver, gold, tobacco, gems, and indigo from Spanish ports at Cartagena and Porto
Bello in New Granada (present-day Colombia and Panama, respectively) and Havana,
bound for Spain. The Nuestra Señora de Atocha was named for a holy shrine in Madrid,
Spain. It was a heavily armed Spanish galleon that served as the almirante (rear guard)
for the Spanish fleet. It would trail behind the other ships in the flota to prevent an attack
from the rear. Weight: 28.00 grams, Fineness: .999 Fine Silver, Diameter: 33 mm.
