The study&#8217;s authors said the exact number of coins on the seabed is difficult to determine &#8220;due to the dynamic nature of the site.&#8221; But an analysis of high-resolution images from the remotely operated vehicles shows each coin&#8217;s average diameter is 32.5 millimeters and weighs roughly 27 grams.<\/p>\n<p>On some of the coins, researchers were able to discern the letters &#8220;PVA&#8221; \u2014 representing a Latin motto meaning &#8220;Plus Ultra&#8221; or &#8220;Further Beyond.&#8221; That adage was used on currency to signify the expansion of the Spanish monarchy in the Atlantic, the study&#8217;s authors said. Numbers depicting the coins&#8217; denomination and the date of minting (1707) could also be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Last August, Colombian authorities said one remotely operated vehicle surveyed the wreck, uncovering <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/san-jose-shipwreck-colombia-new-artifacts-found-billions-treasure\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">numerous artifacts<\/a><\/span>, including an anchor, jugs and glass bottles.<\/p>\n<p>The Colombian government announced last year it would begin extractions from the ship off its Caribbean coast, using multiple remotely operated vehicles. The ship was\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/holy-grail-of-shipwrecks-found-off-colombia\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">discovered in 2015<\/a><\/span>, but its exact location has been kept secret to protect the storied wreck from potential treasure hunters.<\/p>\n<p>Since its discovery, multiple parties have laid claim to the shipwreck, including Colombia, Spain and Indigenous Qhara Qhara Bolivians who claim the treasures on board were stolen from them. The wreck has also been claimed by U.S.-based salvage company Sea Search Armada, which says it first discovered the wreck more than 40 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The cause of the San Jose&#8217;s sinking has also been debated. British documents indicate that the ship did not explode, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icanh.gov.co\/prensa\/actualidad-icanh\/testimonio-ingles-reafirmaria-la-hipotesis-de-que-el-galeon-san-jose-no-se-hundio-por-una-explosion-masiva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to Colombia&#8217;s government<\/a>, but Spanish reports suggest the ship was blown up in battle.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, the ship \u2014 laden with chests of emeralds and about 200 tons of gold \u2014 sank with most of its crew while heading back from the New World to Spain on June 7, 1708.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2024, Colombia\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/san-jose-shipwreck-billions-dollars-treasure-colombia-declares-protected-archeological-area\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">declared the site<\/a><\/span>\u00a0of the shipwreck a &#8220;protected archeological area.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/stephen-smith\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Stephen  Smith<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Stephen Smith is a managing editor for CBSNews.com based in New York.
