The image shows several large sailing ships from the Age of Sail era. They are depicted as moving slowly forward on a calm sea, their sails either furled or billowing in a light breeze. The ships are arranged in a loose formation, with the lead ship slightly ahead of the others. In the foreground of the image, a large amount of gold coins is depicted as spilling out of the lead ship and into the sea. The coins are scattered across the surface of the water, and some of them are sinking below the waves. The ships are depicted as being made of wood, with their hulls painted in various colors. The image is set in a realistic style, and the details of the ships and the water are rendered in great detail.
