This was one of the most significant finds in numismatic history. Though the mystery of the ships name was never solved, it's known that it was among the wreck of the Dutch Pirate Piet Heyn who had captured the entire Spanish Fleet at Matanzas Bay, Cuba in 1628. It's known 2 of the captured vessels were lost at sea during their return voyage and this is from one of those 2 ships. That makes this one of only a few certified pirate treasure finds known. Most of the coins discovered were minted 1613 - 1626 in Mexico City, MX during the reign of Philip IV and bear the OMD Mint mark. A small number of additional coins found were minted during the reigns of Filipe II & III in Potosi, Bolivia & Mexico City bearing the mintmarks PR, OMA & OMP. Piet Heyn (Pieter Pieterszoon) was a Dutch admiral and privateer for the Dutch Republic during the Eighty Years' War. Heyn was the first and the last to capture a large part of a Spanish treasure fleet which transported huge amounts of gold and silver from Spanish America to Spain.
