Very large silver "splash" ingot #P, 2988 grams. 10" in diameter, up to 1" thick. Probably the biggest and best-marked ingot from this wreck, very thin and spread-out with one edge upturned and mountains of dripped silver in middle, the top surface showing two sets of very clear fineness markings IIU CCC X L (2340/2400 = 97.5% pure) with the X made out of back-to-back C's, also with small crown tax stamp (quinto) of a unique design in four places, a very impressive ingot with very well-preserved surfaces. From the "Golden Fleece wreck," sunk ca. 1550 in the northern Caribbean.
