{{/presale}}During World War II, the S.S. Tilawa, sometimes called the “Indian Titanic,” embarked on a journey from Bombay to Durban, South Africa, but it never arrived. Struck by Japanese torpedoes in the Indian Ocean, the ship sank, carrying with it 2,364 silver bars. Decades later, a 2017 salvage operation recovered around 60 tons of silver from the wreck. Now, 10 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bars are available from BGASC, allowing you to own a piece of this fascinating history.
Highlights:
Each 10 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bar is secured inside protective plastic. These bars are an exciting addition for both collectors and investors, blending the value of silver with a compelling historical narrative.
Obverse
On the obverse of the S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bar, you’ll find the image of the ship’s silhouette, which is framed by anchors and stylized waves. The background is decorated with a wave pattern to symbolize the ocean, paying tribute to the ship’s story and the recovery of the silver.
Reverse
The reverse of the 10 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bar features the SS Tilawa at sea, with the ship moving through the water and its wake behind it. A ripple effect fills the background, adding depth to the design and reflecting the ships fateful journey in 1942, when it was transporting silver bullion from India to South Africa.
History
The S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bars are not only made from silver recovered from the wreckage, but they also offer collectors a rare opportunity to hold a piece of history. The ship was sunk by a Japanese submarine in November 1942, and the silver was hidden beneath the ocean until its recovery in 2017.
