The Sea

The Sea is the moonlit side of Florida Man Mint: pirate and shipwreck silver rounds struck for what the Gulf keeps after dark. The 1715 fleet still keeping its accounts below the breakers. The reales that wash ashore after a storm. The legends that never asked permission. Every coin is one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, edge-numbered, registered and Treasure-cased. Moonlit myth. Mayhem. Treasure.

Shipwreck silver, struck for the story

The Sunken Real opened the Sea: three nights of dreaming silver, the tide pulls back to bare an old Spanish wreck, and Florida Man comes up with a single blackened real carrying the same mark as the spear. The coin honors the 1715 Treasure Fleet, a Spanish fleet heavy with silver that sailed into a July hurricane off Florida and never sailed out, and it says so plainly: the history is real, the coin is the legend. Six Sea legends strike in 2026, each paired with a legend from the Sand.

How a Sea coin is struck

Same law as the Sand, darker water. Each release opens with a First Tide Release of 150 coins, numbered 001–150 on the edge, struck once and never reopened; the High-Water Mark caps every design at 500 pieces, ever. Tideglass Finish™, a struck metal label that is never paper, a signed certificate and a permanent Registry entry. One number, three places, impossible to fake. Call your number on the Registry and it’s held for you while you check out; claim without picking and you take the lowest open number. The High Tide Society claims before anyone. The Gulf keeps secrets. Your certificate does not.

Built to be opened

A Sea coin ships Treasure-cased, and the case opens on purpose. Black glove on, thumb the latch, feel the weight of an ounce pulled from the dark, read the number on the edge, match it to your certificate. Put her back, or don't. The Registry is the proof, not the shell.

What's in the box

The Treasure-cased coin, its numbered certificate, the story postcard for that legend, a velvet pouch, the Keeper's Glove in black for the Sea, and the Florida Man Mint box. Free, insured USPS Priority Mail on every order. Two percent of net proceeds from every coin goes to Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, because the Sea gave us every one of these stories.

Who collects the Sea

Treasure hunters who walk the wrack line after every blow and want the 1715 story in their hand between finds. Pirate-round collectors tired of the same three skulls. Anyone who has stood on a Florida beach at night and understood why the Spanish never got their silver back. And the Midnight Crew, who hear about every new Sea legend first.

Need daylight? Return to the Sand: treasure maps, palm shade and tales worth telling twice. Or pledge the Sea now. The Ledger keeps the only score.
