Treasure Paintings by JR Bissell: "Bar and Chains" Pirate Gold Coins
This Painting depicts some of the most Iconic Shipwreck Treasure Gold from the famed 1715 Plate Fleet Shipwreck and Atocha 1622 Shiwpreck. The depth in colors and dimension on this piece is only achievable after 8 or more layers from painting, over the course of a month and a half and over 60 hours, the final product visually represents a true dimensional treasure coin with breathtaking array of colors. The colors are as rich as the treasure itself, encapsulating the heart stopping thrill we get when holding one of these crushingly rare shipwreck treasure coins. Unfortunately, we all have to put our treasures back in the safe or the bank, only taking them out every once in a while, but a painting of this magnitude brings the heart stopping thrill you feel, every day in your home.

Atocha Gold Bar
This stunning Shipwreck Gold Treasure bar from the Nuestra Señora De Atocha from 1622 was recovered July 20th 1985 by Treasure Salvors, Inc. “Mel Fisher Family.” The weight is 31.3oz (Troy ounces for gold are 31g's as opposed to the traditional 28g) The measurements are 21.3cm x 3.2mm x 1.3cm, this is a very large bar (8 1/2 inches x 1.3in x 1/2 in). Poured & Struck in COLOMBIA from the Pena-Randa Foundry in 1621-22. I have researched many of the “En Rada” bars and this certainly ranks near the top in condition and clarity. It has 6 (SIX) Tax Stamps ~ indicating the “Royal Fifth” as been paid, 2 (TWO) Foundry stamps (En Rada) and 4(FOUR) “Purity Locations” karat markings of 20.75 karats (XX… = 20.75 karats). There’s also an assayer “scoop or bite” located at center left (called the “Bocado”). This sample “bite” was taken by the assayer to test the metal and he retained as his fee. These bars came from off the Keys “Deep Water Wreck” off the Gulf. In all my research and through colleagues’ long term research there’s approximately 12 of these bars known.
