Christensen, Henry. THE UBILLA-ECHEVEZ COLLECTION. GOLD COINS OF THE WORLD. October 8, 1964. 12mo. 1-246 Lots. Original printed card covers. Public and Mail Auction Sale. Sale No. 23. Hoboken. 40 pages. 17 b&w coin plates. Fine. This auction sale catalog includes numismatic material from Ancient Rome and the Byzantine Empire, Mexico, Latin America, Europe, and other foreign countries and includes an extensive selection of gold coins from the 1715 Spanish Fleet wrecks. The sale was the first to offer a large quantity of coins from the 1715 Fleet, although this was not advertised at the time of the auction. It seems that the National Geographic Society had the exclusive rights to announce the discovery of this fabulous treasure (and had not yet made the announcement). But anyone who knows the history of the 1715 Fleet will recognize the names on the title of the catalog, 'Ubilla-Echevez', as the commanders of the New Spain Flota and the Tierra Firma Galleons. The catalog contains 106 lots of gold cobs from the 1715 Fleet, including five gold royals. Lot weight: 0 lbs 4oz. Subject(s): Ancient, Mexican, Spanish American, European, World Coinage.
