The entire world knows the story. On April 15, 1912, just five days after it left Southampton, England on its way to New York City, the largest ship in the world met its fate. But as soon as RMS Titanic disappeared beneath the waves, it entered into our imaginations. The ship's epic story has transfixed historians, inspired writers, and graced the silver screen as we were captivated by what happened on that historic night. Now, all of the mystery and romance of the Titanic have been poured into an official Five—Ounce Silver Mother of Pearl 2012 Titanic Proof. Commemorating the 100—year anniversary of Titanic's ill—fated voyage, this massive silver proof is an exquisite memorial to the extraordinary ship.

When honoring the legendary Titanic, an ordinary coin just wouldn't do. It needed to be something truly remarkable. It needed to be as beautiful as the legendary Grand Staircase. It needed the heft of enough silver to make even the richest passengers covet it. And it needed to be massive. This Five—Ounce Silver Proof accomplishes all of these feats and more.

Genuine Mother of Pearl

Like a fine Italian cameo, the reverse captures the glory of Titanic carved into genuine shimmering mother of pearl. The wonderfully iridescent surface of mother of pearl is composed of the same material which makes up the world’s most coveted pearls. It is fitting that the ship that was lost to the sea would be depicted in a material that is one of the ocean’s greatest gifts. The intricately sculpted design shows the majestic ship under full steam. The iridescent and richly colored nature of mother of pearl ensures that each and every proof is a one—of—a—kind work of art! The legend The RMS Titanic is struck directly above the image and the denomination of 50 dollars appears below. This legal tender coin also honors Titanic's birthplace in the British Isles with the obverse effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Lastly, the coin bears the milestone centennial year date of 2012.

Ready to Set Sail

The Titanic Five—Ounce Silver Mother of Pearl Proof is a truly remarkable coin. Its size alone sets it apart. It is over 2.5 inches in diameter — nearly the same width as a baseball! Your coin will arrive in a specially designed wooden frame to preserve and display the coin, along with a numbered certificate of authenticity, which has been designed to look like a transatlantic boarding pass. Each silver proof will also come with an original Titanic Stock Certificate issued by the International Mercantile Marine Company, owners of the White Star Line — the luxury line that built the magnificent Titanic. Now you can have this authentic artifact of this historic ship's story as a bonus with each coin.
