The firm claims $10 billion corresponding to what they assume is worth 50% of the galleon treasure that they claim to have discovered in 1982.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, researchers analyzed intricately designed gold coins found near the\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/san-jose-shipwreck-colombia-200-tons-treasure\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">wreck<\/a><\/span>, confirming they are indeed from the iconic San Jose. The coins feature depictions of castles, lions and crosses on the front and the &#8220;Crowned Pillars of Hercules&#8221; above ocean waves on the back, according to a new study published in the journal\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.15184\/aqy.2025.10095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Antiquity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Colombian authorities said one remotely operated vehicle surveyed the wreck, uncovering\u00a0<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&#8217;s 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,\u00a0<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
