Own a piece of America’s greatest treasure story.

This exclusive 1849 (2025) 1/2 oz Silver SSCA Commemorative Restrike brings together the California Gold Rush, the legendary SS Central America “Ship of Gold,” and the iconic first-year 1849 Liberty Head Double Eagle design in one remarkable collectible.

Each piece is struck in 1/2 oz. of .999 fine silver and enhanced with an overlay of authentic California Gold Rush gold recovered from the 1857 wreck of the SS Central America.
