Welcome to CCF! Difficult to say without the sales receipt when it was bought which should have been kept for provenance. I know Mel Fischer's company sells jewelry like that from shipwreck coins like the Atocha. You could contact them to see if they keep sales/photos records of what they have sold through the years. Other jewelers/companies may have have made similar pieces. Mel Fischer is the only one I know about.

Hello and welcome.

In short, no, there isn't. If it didn't come with provenance, then there's very little chance the provenance can be reconstructed.

@sol, your post has sat for a while in our unidentified subforum and while you've got a couple answers, it seems to me that this thread belongs in our world coin subforum. There are a couple people who hang out there and might have additional thoughts as to the origin of your Reale.

I looks like an authentic reale based on the sharpness of the design details, but beyond that there's not enough to make a judgement. Sometimes the wreck can be deduced from a date but there's no date on this one.
