Product Description

Available as low as $5.19 per round over spot!

The SS Tilawa, known as the “Indian Titanic,” met a tragic fate during World War II when Japanese torpedoes sank the ship on its route from Bombay to Durban. In addition to the tragic loss of life, the ship was carrying 2,364 silver bars, all of which sunk into the depths of the Indian Ocean. In 2017, after decades underwater, around 60 tons of silver were recovered from the wreckage in a secretive operation. Now, 1/2 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Rounds are available online from BGASC.

Highlights:

  • Rounds arrive inside plastic flips, tubes of 20, or boxes of 500!
  • Issued in the Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Series!
  • Made with silver salvaged from the wreckage of the S.S. Tilawa!
  • Contains 1/2 Troy oz of .999 pure silver.
  • Obverse features the S.S. Tilawa over a map of its final journey.
  • Reverse shows the S.S. Tilawa sailing peacefully.

These 1/2 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Rounds are available in protective plastic flips, tubes of 20, or boxes of 500, ensuring they remain safe during handling and storage. Each round was refined using silver recovered from the wreckage of the SS Tilawa.

Obverse

On the obverse of the S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Rounds, you will find a detailed depiction of the ship’s final voyage. The S.S. Tilawa is shown from above, sailing across the Indian Ocean, with a map in the background charting its route from Bombay, India, to Durban, South Africa.

Reverse

The reverse side of 1/2 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Rounds commemorates the ship itself, showing the S.S. Tilawa peacefully cruising through calm waters. Originally built in 1924 for the British India Steam Navigation Company, the ship later served during World War II as a cargo and troop transport for the Royal Navy until its sinking in 1942.

History

Collectors now have the rare chance to own a piece of maritime history. The SS Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Series offers silver refined from the ocean floor, salvaged in 2017 after the ship was discovered in 2014. The rounds honor the ships final journey and the recovery of its long-lost treasure.
