2020 Solomon Islands $2 1-oz Silver Hunters of the Deep Tiger Shark Shaped Reverse Proof NGC PF70UC First Releases

Third and Final Coin in the Hunters of the Deep Series

In 1945, the USS Indianapolis was returning from a secret mission to deliver components needed for the first atomic bomb when it was spotted and sunk by a Japanese submarine. Of the nearly 1,200 men aboard, roughly 900 made it into the water before it sank just 12 minutes after it was torpedoed. But the ship’s sinking was just the beginning of the sailors’ nightmare in a tragedy that became the worst shark attack ever recorded. Drawn by the sound of the explosions, the sinking of the ship and the thrashing & blood in the water, sharks — many of them 13-foot-long Tiger Sharks — soon appeared. By the time the crew was rescued four days later only 317 men remained.

That story forms a key component of the film Jaws in a scene where Robert Shaw’s character, the crusty shark hunter Quint, tells of being one of the lucky few to have survived the sinking of the Indianapolis and the shark attacks that followed. Now you can spin your own tales with this fantastic pure silver coin that’s actually shaped like a Tiger Shark!

The third and final release in Solomon Islands’ Hunters of the Deep series of shaped coins, the Tiger Shark coin is struck in a full ounce of 99.99% pure silver. This coin is a nice catch that measures approximately 80 mm x 33 mm. On it you will see a realistic depiction of a fearsome Tiger Shark, his “smile” showing rows of razor-sharp teeth. The coin’s obverse features a profile of Queen Elizabeth II along with the coin’s weight, purity and denomination. In addition, the coin has also been individually engraved with its serial number from within the limited edition of just 2,500 coins.

Your 2020 Solomon Islands One-Ounce Silver Hunters of the Deep Tiger Shark Shaped Proof is a $2 legal-tender coin in Solomon Islands and was expertly crafted by PAMP — one of the world’s leading producers of bullion bars and coins – as a spectacular Reverse Proof coin. The opposite of a regular proof, the coin features hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce mirror-like details rising over beautifully frosted fields.
