Referred to as the “Indian Titanic,” the SS Tilawa was tragically sunk by Japanese torpedoes during World War II while en route from Bombay to Durban. Along with the tragic loss of lives, 2,364 silver bars went down with the ship into the Indian Ocean. After resting underwater for decades, about 60 tons of silver were recovered in 2017. Now, 1/2 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Rounds are available online from Provident Metals.

Highlights:

  • Rounds arrive inside plastic flips, tubes of 20, or boxes of 500!
  • Issued in the Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Series!
  • Crafted with silver recovered from the wreck of the SS Tilawa!
  • Contains 1/2 Troy oz of .999 pure silver.
  • Obverse shows the SS Tilawa overlaid on a map of its final voyage.
  • Reverse features the ship sailing peacefully through the sea.

Each of these 1/2 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Rounds arrives inside a protective plastic flip, tube of 20, or box of 500 to preserve its condition. The silver used to mint these rounds was recovered from the wreckage of the SS Tilawa.

Obverse

The obverse design of the 1/2 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Rounds highlights the final journey of the ship. From a birds-eye view, the SS Tilawa is shown sailing across the Indian Ocean, with a map charting its voyage from Bombay, India, to Durban, South Africa. The inscriptions here read BOMBAY TO DURBAN and 1/2 OZ .999 FINE SILVER.

Reverse

On the reverse, the ship is shown peacefully cruising through calm waters, commemorating its original purpose as a passenger liner for the British India Steam Navigation Company. The SS Tilawa, built in 1924, was later pressed into service as a troop and cargo ship during World War II before being sunk in 1942. Inscriptions here read SS TILAWA.

History

The SS Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Series provides a unique opportunity to own a part of maritime history. The rounds are refined from silver salvaged from the ocean floor after the ship was discovered in 2014 and recovered in 2017, commemorating the ships last voyage and the incredible recovery of its silver cargo.
