Own a genuine piece of maritime history with the S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Voyage 1oz .999 Fine Silver Round. Struck from 1 Troy Ounce of .999 Fine Silver recovered from the wreck of the legendary S.S. Tilawa, this remarkable silver round offers collectors the opportunity to own precious metal that spent more than seven decades resting on the floor of the Indian Ocean.

Often referred to as the "Indian Titanic", the S.S. Tilawa was a British passenger and cargo liner travelling from Bombay (Mumbai), India, to Durban, South Africa during the Second World War. On 23 November 1942, the vessel was struck by Japanese torpedoes and tragically sank, taking with it thousands of silver bars destined for the South African Mint. Following decades beneath the sea, a major salvage operation successfully recovered around 60 tonnes of silver in 2017, allowing this historic bullion to be refined and transformed into this unique commemorative series.

The obverse features a beautifully detailed overhead view of the S.S. Tilawa sailing across a nautical chart illustrating her final voyage from Bombay to Durban. The inscriptions include BOMBAY TO DURBAN together with 1 OZ .999 FINE SILVER, commemorating both the ship's intended route and the investment-grade purity of the silver.

The reverse presents an elegant stern view of the S.S. Tilawa sailing peacefully across the Indian Ocean. This dramatic design pays tribute to the vessel's final voyage before its tragic wartime sinking and serves as a lasting memorial to one of history's most famous maritime disasters.

Containing 1 Troy Ounce (31.103 grams) of .999 Fine Silver, this historic silver round offers far more than bullion value alone. Every piece has been struck using silver recovered directly from the shipwreck, creating an extraordinary connection between modern bullion collecting and one of the twentieth century's most remarkable salvage stories.

Whether you're fascinated by maritime history, shipwreck treasure, military history or simply appreciate unique bullion releases, the S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Voyage Round is an exceptional addition to any collection.

Bullion and Collectable Condition Information

Each round is supplied brand new in protective packaging.

As a bullion round, minor contact marks, light handling marks or light scratches may occasionally be present from the minting and packaging process. These are normal characteristics of bullion products and do not affect the silver content, purity or intrinsic value.

Silver naturally tones over time when exposed to environmental conditions. This is a natural characteristic of fine silver and many collectors appreciate the unique patina that develops with age.
