Over 350 gold coins from a sunken Spanish Treasure are seen in an undated handout picture courtesy of 1715 Fleet – Queens Jewels. Florida treasure hunters found the trove of $4.5 million worth of Spanish gold coins 300 years to the day after a fleet of ships sunk in a hurricane while en route from Havana to Spain, the salvage owner said August 19, 2015. The 350 coins found on July 30 include nine rare pieces, known as royal eight escudos, which were being transported to the King of Spain, according to Brent Brisben. His company, 1715 Fleet – Queens Jewels, owns the rights to the wreckage. (Photo by Reuters/1715 Fleet – Queens Jewels)
