How much is that ship worth anyway?

Looks like maybe 500,000 doubloons.

FROM HERE:

A doubloon is a Spanish gold coin which weighs approximately one ounce.

If Gold is about $1652.00 an ounce today, then 500,000 doubloons would be : $826,000,000.

That’s worth MORE than what Argentina owes Elliott Management in bonds.
