12mm beach-recovered example from the Florida\'s east coast. I have not cleaned/conserved this example beyond soaking in distilled water.If you look closely you can see remnants of the silver plating on this nicely patinated example. These plain buttons are of the known types recovered from the 1715 Plate Fleet and were worn by Spanish soldiers as well as civilians. It is not unusual for buttons, coins, and other artifacts to be foundafter large storms along a former metals conservator for a private museum, I clean and conserve each artifact by hand using approved museum techniques. If you have specific questions, please contact me.

Shipping:Due to the high cost of foreign shipping and limited ability to track parcels, I ship to the US only at this time. I do combine shipping.Please wait for a combined invoice.
