Rachel Murrell, a diving archaeologist for Seafarer who found three of the silver coins, said, "Since receiving our salvage permit, we've approached the site from a different angle with different salvage techniques and it is beginning to pay off. We have been able to overcome obstacles and have discovered some incredible artifacts including several coins and coin pieces. I am excited to see what else our salvage site will yield in the future."
John Fitzgerald, the lead archaeologist for Seafarer, noted, "After the appropriate conservation and cleaning procedures were completed, it was determined the first silver coin found (artifact #00216) is part of a silver coin minted in Mexico between the years of 1572 and 1733. The only markings visible on the obverse side of this coin are the upper portion of the shield with the left upper box containing a castle. This castle represents the province of Castile in Spain and, along with the lion that would normally be to the right of the castle, represents the province of Leon, Spain. Together they symbolize the two provinces joining to become a united Spain. All of the Spanish Coats of Arms used as shields on the obverse side of Spanish coins, known as 'cobs,' from the year 1556 to 1746 have the castle in the upper right corner."
Fitzgerald continued, "On the reverse side of the coin one can just make out a portion of a Florenzada cross. This type of cross was only used by the Mexico mint on silver coins between 1572 and 1733. The Cruz Florenzada or 'Flowered Cross' can be identified by the ball at the pinnacle of the arms of the cross."
