Treasure recovered from a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Florida in 1622 will be auctioned next month.
A solid gold chalice, an emerald-encrusted cross and a bag of silver coins will go under the hammer in New York.
The incredible items were discovered by a US treasure hunter from the wreckage of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha, the most famous vessel in a Spanish flotilla that sank after sailing into a hurricane.
