Very thin, broad puddle of refined silver (XRF tested at about 99% fine), naturally poured without a mold, showing a rough bottom but smooth top with nearly full and distinctive tax stamp featuring two pillars and the motto PLVS VLTRA under a crown, the edge somewhat irregular but with approximately 4½\" of it tangentially sliced off to make \"plata corriente\" in its time, with lightly toned silver color all over. Around 2007-8, coins and ingots identical to those from the 1554 Fleet off Padre Island, Texas, entered the market from a shipwreck off Santo Domingo that had to have been carrying material from the same 1554 Fleet, either on a ship that survived the initial storm or salvaged in its time and lost again. The markings on the ingots are a match with those found off Padre Island, and in fact they are quite different from those seen on ingots from the so-called \"Golden Fleece\" wreck of ca. 1550 that had been on the market since the late 1990s (a confusion when this ingot was first sold publicly in 2009 from a large shipwreck collection).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\" style=\"margin: 0px 25px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\" style=\"margin: 0px 25px;\"\u003eFrom an unidentified wreck of the Spanish 1554 Fleet sunk off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
