Italian States. Tassarolo. Silver Luigino of 1666. From an unidentified wreck off the coast

of Sicily, the cargo consisted of Mexican cobs and these formerly rare Italian States

silver. The ship seems to have sunk around 1666 or 1667 based on the dates of the

coins. It was located based on pieces washing up on the shores of Sicily for years. The

identity of this wreck is a mystery, and so is the question of why it was carrying both

Italian States coins and Mexican cobs (only Mexican though, no other mints).
