The first Treasure bars ever made and recovered 400 years later
The author has traced the history of a group of very special treasure bars that were found in the Bahamas in 1992 to the era when they were first cast. These "tumbaga" bars are very different from most of the Spanish treasure bars that have been found because they are made up of an unusual mix of metals and marked in a unique way. The reasons why are fascinating. In addition to explaining why the bars are the different, the author, through his research of contemporary Spanish documents, has proposed a very strong argument that the bars are linked to the original conquest of Mexico by Cortez. The book describes the Cortez expedition and the offshoot expedition that actually recovered the metal and cast the bars. Emphasis is given to a history of the recovery of Mexican treasure while ...

The reasons why are fascinating.

The book describes the Cortez expedition and the offshoot expedition that actually recovered the metal and cast the bars. Emphasis is given to a history of the recovery of Mexican treasure while relating the conquest to what we learned in school. The names of people who were involved in the conquest are included. The fact that people who were involved in the conquest of Mexico can be linked to silver bars found in the Bahamas is a fascinating read. The book includes an analysis of each bar found that is presented in a manner that anybody can understand. The book also includes an appendix which presents a new translation of King Charles V's royal decree on the circulation of gold and silver in the New World. It is a fascinating story and is well told. I highly recommend this book to anybody interested in treasure, treasure bars, or the conquest of Mexico.

History of the Treasure of the Conquest: The first shipwreck treasure
n the summer of 1992, while hunting for treasure in the Bahamian Shoals, the Marex Corporation found over two hundred gold and silver bars unlike any found in other shipwrecks. Upon analysis it was apparent that these bars were older and of different metallic composition than those recovered from other shipwreck sites. They are actually connected to the early days of the Spanish conquest of the New World. Garcia begins his book with a comprehensive review of Cortes conquest of Mexico, utilizing many contemporary Spanish historical sources. He then moves to the unanswered questions regarding the metallic composition of the mysterious bars and where this metal originated. His research into contemporary letters and records led him to the Tarascan region present day Michoacan state in Mexico ... n the summer of 1992, while hunting for treasure in the Bahamian Shoals, the Marex Corporation found over two hundred gold and silver bars unlike any found in other shipwrecks.

They are actually connected to the early days of the Spanish conquest of the New World. Garcia begins his book with a comprehensive review of Cortes conquest of Mexico, utilizing many contemporary Spanish historical sources. He then moves to the unanswered questions regarding the metallic composition of the mysterious bars and where this metal originated. His research into contemporary letters and records led him to the Tarascan region present day Michoacan state in Mexico which was conquered by Cortes lieutenant, Cristobal de Olid, in 1522. His research shows these bars were composed of a silver-copper alloy which could be traced to the Tarascan culture. The Spanish called this particular alloy the metal of Michoacan. The book contains a series of photographs of bars with particularly distinctive marks. The marks were intended to denote purity, ownership and payment of the royal fifth tax. Garcia provides a list of contemporary Spaniards who might have utilized these markings. The book is a wonderful analysis of these unique bars which are a genuine link to the early days of the Spanish Conquest.
