S.S. Tilawa Silver Recovery 2-Coin Set

2025 First Day of Production – NGC Gem Uncirculated

Historic World War II shipwreck provenance

Honor one of the most compelling maritime discoveries of the 20th century with this extraordinary two-coin silver set recovered from the legendary S.S. Tilawa. This limited-edition collection pairs two of the world’s most iconic silver coins, each struck from silver recovered from the historic World War II shipwreck.

The S.S. Tilawa was torpedoed in 1942 during World War II while transporting passengers and valuable cargo, including silver bullion. Decades later, the wreck was discovered deep in the Indian Ocean, and a portion of the recovered silver was preserved and refined for select commemorative issues.

This set transforms that recovered treasure into two modern masterpieces of global coinage.
