Long-lost\u00a0Spanish coins worth $1 million were\u00a0discovered recently during an underwater excavation of a\u00a0shipwreck, according to The Associated Press.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The shipwreck salvage company 1715 Fleet \u2013 Queens Jewels LLC deployed excavators near Sebastian, Florida, on the Sunshine State\u2019s so-called “Treasure Coast<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

A convoy of Spanish ships was carrying a variety of jewels taken from the New World and was sailing back to Spain.<\/p>\n

On July 21, 1715, a hurricane struck<\/a> \u2014 wrecking the ships and releasing their treasures into the sea, according to AP.<\/p>\n

It’s believed that the coins of gold and silver were minted hundreds of years ago in Bolivia, Mexico and Peru, the same source noted.<\/p>\n

“The condition of the coins suggests they were part of a single chest or shipment that spilled when the ships<\/a> broke apart in the hurricane\u2019s fury,” the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The salvage company\u2019s director of operations, Sal Guttuso, said the discovery “is not only about the treasure itself, but the stories it tells.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guttuso added, “Each coin is a piece of history<\/a>, a tangible link to the people who lived, worked and sailed during the Golden Age of the Spanish Empire.”<\/p>\n

He said that “finding 1,000 of them in a single recovery is both rare and extraordinary.”<\/p>\n

The Treasure Coast is a stretch of land in the southeast region of Florida consisting of St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River counties.<\/p>\n

The area was given the name after shipwrecks full of treasure, beginning in the 1600s, occurred due to the reefs and isolated location<\/a>, according to multiple sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The coins will undergo conservation\u00a0before they’re put on public display<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Florida\u2019s Rule 1A-31.090 states that when artifacts are recovered under a state permit, the Division of Historical Resources keeps up to 20% of the recovered artifacts for research or public viewing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The remaining 80% may be shared with the salvagers.<\/p>\n

“Every find helps piece together the human story of the 1715 fleet,” said Guttuso.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added, “We are committed to preserving and studying these artifacts, so future generations can appreciate their historical significance<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
