Ye Tian looked at the big gold coin in Raymond's hand, and then said in surprise:
“This is a Spanish dobloon gold coin, which is worth eight escudo gold coins. Moreover, the number of such large gold coins minted is very small, and even fewer have been handed down to this day!
If I read it correctly, this rare gold dobloon coin should have been minted by the Spanish mint in Panama City, and was minted around 1580.
Raymond, look at the right side of the front of this dobloon gold coin. Is there the word 'AP' in capital letters? That’s the factory logo of the Panama Mint, which specifically means Upper Peru”
Hearing this, Raymond immediately began to check the Dobloon gold coins in his hand.
After a few seconds, the guy nodded excitedly and said:
"You have really good eyesight, Steven, yes, this dobloon gold coin does have the word 'AP' in capital letters, right where you said it is!
It seems that this is indeed a dobloon gold coin minted in Panama City. This kind of gold coin must be very valuable, right? It must be a valuable antique gold coin! "
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then said with a smile:
"You are right, Raymond, this is indeed a valuable antique gold coin, and it is one of the most expensive Spanish antique gold coins. The current market value is no less than two hundred thousand US dollars.
The reason why this gold dobloon coin is so expensive is the Panama Mint. Historically, this mint existed for a short time. It only minted coins for three years before it stopped operating!
And the coins minted by the Panama Mint are mainly coat-of-arms series silver coins, and there are very few gold coins minted, let alone the huge Dobulon gold coins, which can be said to be rare!
Compared with the gold and silver coins minted by several other Spanish and Latin American colonial mints, the gold and silver coins of the Panama Mint are much higher in rarity and market price, and are difficult to see in the market!
Of course, if a large number of gold and silver coins minted by the Panama Mint flood into the market at the same time, it will definitely lower the market value of these antique coins. At this time, it depends on how the owners operate.
If the owner of this kind of gold and silver coins is wiser, bulk shipments bit by bit, lengthen the timeline of bulk shipments, and let the market slowly digest these rare antique coins, it will not be difficult to maximize profits! "
"Wow! A Dobloon gold coin from the Panama Mint is actually worth more than 200,000 US dollars. It's really an exaggeration. There are many Dobloon gold coins here, which is undoubtedly an amazing wealth!"
Raymond said with emotion, his eyes shining with excitement.
“Not only the dobloon gold coins of the Panama Mint, but almost every gold coin here, whether it is a dobloon, an escudo, or a real, is a valuable antique coin.
The market value of these antique gold coins far exceeds the value of the gold used to cast them. Of course, this requires us to operate it carefully and strive to maximize benefits.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s continue working. When the exploration is completed, we will transport all these antique gold coins back to the Brave and Dauntless. We will have plenty of time to appreciate them slowly! "
After saying that, Ye Tian threw the gold rial coins in his hand back into the box.
Matisse and Raymond followed suit and threw the gold coins in their hands back into the box, somewhat reluctantly!
Next, Ye Tian asked Matisse and the others to cover the two boxes again and lock the boxes with safety locks for the subsequent salvage operation.
After doing this, the three of them went to the corner between the inner bulkhead and the floor of the captain's cabin, preparing to deal with the pile of things covered by coral.
When the underwater robot used a metal detector to explore here before, it detected a strong metal signal under the coral. Needless to say, this corner must be filled with gold and silver treasures!
It was still Matisse and Raymond who took action. They used diving knives to peel off the large pieces of coral covering the gold and silver treasures little by little, while Ye Tian watched suspended from the side.
Without much effort, the various corals that had grown for hundreds of years and finally took shape were peeled off by Matisse and others with their extremely sharp diving knives and scattered to the side.
As Matisse and the others moved, the water in the captain's cabin became a little turbid, but the dazzling golden light could not be concealed at all!
As expected, under that piece of coral was a pile of bright and charming gold coins and a small amount of silver coins, all from Spanish Latin American colonies!
Similar to the previous two boxes of antique gold coins, these gold and silver coins vary in size, have various denominations, and are minted in different ages, ranging from the 16th century to the mid-17th century, covering various periods!
And their origins are also different, covering almost all Spanish mints in Latin America, some from Mexico City, some from Santo Domingo, some from Lima and so on!
These gold and silver coins are also valuable antique coins with certain collection value, and some of them are extremely rare antique coins.
In this pile of gold and silver coins, Ye Tian even saw the shadow of the Spanish royal figure-eight Escudo from the 16th century. It was one of the most expensive antique gold coins, one worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!
The moment the pile of gold and silver coins was discovered, cheers rang out again in the captain's room, of course from Matisse and Raymond.
Immediately afterwards, the guys in the two submarines outside also cheered excitedly.
After a short celebration, Ye Tian and the others got busy again.
The three of them worked together and quickly cleaned up the surroundings of the pile of gold and silver coins, and found many scattered gold and silver coins.
After completing these tasks, they came to the hatch leading to the treasure room, preparing to enter the airtight treasure room next door.
After arriving at the hatch and stabilizing his body, Ye Tian immediately stretched out his right hand and tried to push the hatch to see if he could push it open. That would be perfect!
But unfortunately, the hatch did not move at all and showed no sign of opening.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian did not increase his strength and continue pushing, but withdrew his right hand.
"Obviously, this hatch is blocked from the inside by something, and the blockage is very strong. The thing blocking the door is probably a box filled with gold and silver treasures, that's why it is so heavy!
For safety reasons, it is best not to force open the hatch. Once the boxes blocked behind the hatch roll over, it is likely to trigger a chain reaction, which is not a good thing!
It's better to dismantle it. Carry it out at a higher position, which is safer. When cutting, you must be more careful not to damage the boxes that may be behind the bulkhead! "
While saying these words, Ye Tian quickly selected an ideal location for demolition. Of course, it was the result of his secret perspective, and it was foolproof!
After designating the demolition area, he stepped back a few meters and gave up his position to Matisse and Raymond, who were holding underwater electric cutters.
When Matisse and the others began to cut the bulkhead, Ye Tian swung his legs and swam out of the captain's room and came to the five-seater submarine driven by Miller.
He took a few sealed bags from the salvage gear the small submarine was carrying, and then returned to the captain's cabin.
After returning, he swam directly to the pile of gold and silver treasures at the corner between the bulkhead and the floor, then landed on the overturned bulkhead and stabilized his body.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a sealed bag and opened it. Then he held the mouth of the sealed bag with his left hand and dug gold and silver coins into it with his right hand. His movements were very bold and grand, just like loading rice in his own granary!
He had just finished filling one bag, sealed the mouth of the bag, and was about to fill the second bag when Matisse's excited voice suddenly came from the earphones.
"Steven, we have broken open the bulkhead. This secret cabin is indeed a treasure room. Looking through the broken hole, we can see seven or eight boxes, the same size as the two boxes just now. !
Don't even think about it. These boxes must be filled with gold and silver treasures, and maybe a lot of jewelry and diamonds. In addition to these boxes, there are also many things on the floor of the treasure room, and there is a faint flicker of light! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look over.
As expected!
With such skill, Matisse and Raymond have cut a large hole in the bulkhead with a length of 1.23 meters and a width of 1.23 meters, which is enough for everyone to enter and exit the treasure room freely!
As for what treasures are hidden in that treasure room and how much they are worth, Ye Tian already knows it very well and couldn’t be more clear!
He took a look at the situation over there, then smiled and said:
"Matisse, Raymond, don't worry about the situation in the treasure room for now. We will enter it later to hunt for treasures. We have plenty of time, and those gold and silver treasures will not have wings to fly!
You guys come here first. Let’s clean up the gold and silver treasures scattered in the captain’s cabin and put them all into sealed bags to avoid getting in the way for a while and to facilitate salvage later! "
"Okay, Steven"
Mattis nodded in response, and then swam over here with Raymond.
After arriving here and stabilizing themselves one after another, the two guys each took a sealed bag, followed the same example, and began to dig those dazzling gold and silver coins into the sealed bag!
In just a few minutes, the pile of gold and silver coins that had been sleeping in this corner for hundreds of years had all been put into sealed bags, and would soon surface and see the light of day again!
