Great Britain purchased the Isle of Man from the Atholl family by the Act of Revestment in 1765. The first Regal coinage for the island was dated 1786. Henry IV had granted the island to the ancestors of the Atholl family.

1785 Nova Constellatio Copper, Crosby 5-E, R5 very scarce

The Nova Constellatio coppers were light weight tokens struck in Britain and imported to America for profit. Patterns featuring the same general design were previously made for consideration as a national coinage for the United States. The full weight Nova Constellatio patterns were initiated by Robert Morris, who was the Superintendent of Finance during the Confederation, with the intention of replacing the flood of light weight imitation halfpence circulating. Congress rejected the coinage proposal. After the rejection, Morris joined a partnership to mint the token coinage. The patterns are listed in the (Whitman) Red Book, but the coppers are not.

1783 FF Mexico 8 reales, minted Mexico City, salvage from the wreck of the El Cazador



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Cazador_(ship)
The El Cazador was a Spanish brig that sank in the Gulf of Mexico in 1784. On 20 October 1783 Charles III of Spain sent her on a mission to bring much-needed hard currency to the Spanish colony of Louisiana. The ship sailed to Veracruz, Mexico, where she was loaded with approximately 450,000 Spanish reales.[1] … On 11 January 1784, she sailed for New Orleans, and was never heard from again.[3][4]

Then on 2 August 1993, the trawler Mistake, Captain Jerry Murphy and home port Pascagoula, Mississippi, was fishing in the Gulf of Mexico fifty miles south of New Orleans. As it fished, Mistake's net hung on a snag. When the crew hoisted the net and dumped the contents on the deck, they found the net was filled with silver coins. The coins bore markings from the Spanish mint in Mexico, along with the date 1783.[5][6]



My next post will be 1775. I have only 10 years coverage for the remainder of the century.
