Santa Margarita (1622)
A crude silver bar from Santa Margarita that is narrower and flatter than most others. The surfaces are shallowly cracked and crazed from shrinkage during the cooling of the metal. A series of block stamps likely once indicated the purity value of the silver, but corrosion has rendered the figures indecipherable.
