2025 PCGS-Certified 1-oz Silver Grains From SS Tilawa Shipwreck

Sunken Treasure Resurrected: WWII Silver From The SS Tilawa

In the dark depths of the Indian Ocean lies a story of loss, treasure, and ultimate redemption. On November 23, 1942, the SS Tilawa, a merchant/ocean liner ship carrying 732 passengers, 222 crew and 6,472 tons of cargo (which included 2,364 bars of silver bullion), met a tragic fate. Struck by a torpedo fired by the Japanese submarine I-29 (nicknamed Matsu), the Tilawa and nearly 300 lives were claimed by the sea. But beneath the waves, a forgotten treasure remained–2,364 silver bars destined to be struck into legal tender coinage.

Long-Lost Silver From A Tragic Voyage

Decades later, British entrepreneur and former race car driver Ross Hyett helped assemble a team that eventually led to an extensive operation in 2017 that recovered a significant portion of this sunken treasure. This shipwreck silver is now available to eager collectors of World War II and maritime history. Here you can secure a sonically sealed capsule containing an ounce of silver grains taken from one of those long-lost bars. Plus, each has been certified authentic by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), one of the world's leading third-party coin-grading services. The encapsulation showcases the silver grain alongside a label that emphasizes its origin from the shipwreck. The front view shows the certification label, weight, and grain. The back side shows the certification details, specifications, and SS Tilawa emblem.
