Spain wins battle for shipwreck treasure

2012-08-28 28

After spending more than 200 hundred years on the ocean floor and a five year-long legal battle, a massive haul of sunken treasure has returned to Spain.

Gold and silver coins worth millions of dollars were recovered from a Spanish ship in 2007 by a US exploration company, but Spain successfully argued, the treasure was part of its heritage and should be given back.
