What is the estimated value of the Royal Merchant gold in Outer Banks season 5?

The story behind the answer

The Royal Merchant gold in Outer Banks season 5 is valued at approximately $400 million. The Pogues ultimately recover the treasure connected to their original hunt.

The gold’s history reaches back to season 1, when Ward Cameron stole it from the Pogues after they found it. In season 5, Chandler Groff takes the gold in Rose’s truck, but the treasure is later recovered after the storm.

The figure is an in-story estimate rather than a real-world appraisal of a currently existing hoard. It is also separate from the Blue Crown, which is a different treasure with a legendary reputation. The gold represents the financial reward of the original Royal Merchant mystery.
