35 Years Ago, the Titanic Was Found

After the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in 1912, few people thought the luxury liner would ever be found. But in 1985, Dr. Robert Ballard and his team located the shipwreck on the floor of the Northern Atlantic setting off a medias frenzy befitting the legend and lore of the lost vessel. To pay tribute to the 35th anniversary of that monumental discovery, the Solomon Islands issued this jaw-dropping coin with designs so detailed they’re nothing short of spectacular.

Struck in three ounces of highly pure 99.9% silver, this $10 legal-tender coin depicts the Titanic’s stern rising ominously out of the Atlantic’s icy waters. A handful of survivors can be seen frantically rowing away in one of the ship’s few lifeboats. Behind the sinking ship is an intricately detailed map of the European coast on the right and the North American coast on the left that takes on a translucent appearance thanks to addition of an “Ocean Blue” colored see-through enamel that’s so beautiful you’ll almost smell the salty sea air when you hold this numismatic masterpiece in your hands.

Remarkably, the coin literally rises to a new level of detail thanks to its Ultra High Relief (UHR) design. The superb images take on an added depth thanks to a deep concave field for maximum contrast with the design devices. As an added touch, each coin was given an antiqued finish that gives extra contrast to the coin’s design that accentuates every detail. Thanks to this antique finish, you can actually handle the coin to feel and experience every ridge and crevice without damaging it!

The sinking of the Titanic is the most famous maritime disaster in history. Carrying 2,227 enthusiastic passengers and crew, it set out on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City on April 10, 1912. Experts said it was unsinkable, but as the history books and Hollywood have shown, the massive steamship did not complete her historic trip. On the evening of April 14, the ocean liner struck an iceberg and sunk in the early hours of the next day. Only 705 would survive the freezing waters of the Atlantic.

Each coin in this offer comes in a clear acrylic capsule and housed in its original mint packaging consisting of a custom wooden presentation box along with a blue shipper and a Certificate of Authenticity. An absolute must-have for any nautical-themed collection, the maximum worldwide edition limit for this coin was set at just 999 — a mintage far too low for everyone who would like one. There could be a massive wave of demand for this coin so get yours now before they’re all swept away!
