A Treasure from the Depths: The 2025 Silver Britannia Coin
American Hartford Gold, a leader in precious metal retail, has launched a remarkable new addition to their collection: the exclusive
2025 Silver Britannia SS Tilawa Coin. This significant coin is not only a valuable investment but also a stunning piece of history, possessing a narrative that dates back more than eight decades.
The journey of the SS Tilawa is a poignant tale. This British India Steam Navigation Company ocean liner was tragically torpedoed by a Japanese submarine on November 23, 1942, during World War II. Widely referred to as the "Indian Titanic," the sinking resulted in the loss of 280 lives and the unfortunate descent of around 60 tons of silver bullion into the Indian Ocean. For decades, this precious cargo lay at the bottom of the sea, rendering it a lost treasure of sorts.
In 2017, after extensive efforts, a salvage team succeeded in recovering the silver from the depths, igniting worldwide intrigue and curiosity about the shipwreck. Now, that historic silver has been transformed into stunning five-ounce .999 fine Silver Britannia coins, meticulously minted by The Royal Mint.
Unique Features of the Coin
Each 2025 Silver Britannia coin is adorned with a distinctive
SS Tilawa privy mark, featuring a ship's anchor alongside the year
1942, and the words
“SS TILAWA”, encircled for effect. This privy mark is exclusive, making these coins the only Silver Britannias to ever carry this unique design, thus marking them as significant collector's items.
Sanford Mann, CEO of American Hartford Gold, expressed excitement about this release: "We are thrilled to offer our clients the opportunity to own a tangible piece of history. The 2025 Silver Britannia SS Tilawa Coin is more than an investment in silver; it's a legacy minted from the depths of history."
Due to the limited number of coins minted, enthusiasts and investors are encouraged to acquire this valuable keepsake before they are gone. Each coin is preserved in an individual encapsulation for protection and is sold in boxes of 30, culminating in a total of
150 troy ounces of pure silver.
Max Baecker, President of American Hartford Gold, emphasized the importance of providing customers with unique opportunities: "The SS Tilawa silver coins are a testament to both historical resilience and modern craftsmanship."
