Τhe coins retrieved from the shipwreck were accumulated in masses with corrosion products and incrustations. Some are in advanced state of corrosion and present loss of material. It was determined that they are thirty-six silver and more than forty bronze coins. From the six identifiable coins, three are from Sicily and three from Asia Minor. The former include two of Katane issued in 187-170 BC and one of Panormos of the first cent. BC. The Asia Minor coins include one of Knidos, issued in 250-210 BC and two of Ephesos, issued either between 70-60 or 48 -27 BC. The presence of bronze coins from various Mediterranean regions in the shipwreck demonstrates the ship's wide sailing range!
