The Spanish ship San José is a 150-foot-long, 64-gun, three-masted galleon sunk by the British in 1708. It is probably the most valuable treasure ship ever found holding an estimated 200 tons of silver bars and emeralds, 11 million gold coins, a 17th century intact Chinese dinner service as well as and other porcelain pottery.

I imagine these millions of coins lying unprocessed in boxes in some central Colombian museum :-(

 

All coins are guaranteed for eternity
