It has tax stamps and assayers mark that trace directly to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. The number on the tag on the bar corresponds to the number in the book, <I>Tumbaga Silver for Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire,</B></I> by Douglas Armstrong who cleaned and preserved each bar in his laboratory in Florida. We have taken this directly from the certificate which accompanies the bar. The certificate is from noted shipwreck specialist Daniel Frank Sedwick.
