Remembering The 110th Anniversary Of The Titanic
In 1912, the unthinkable happened. That was the year a not-so-small ship named the RMS Titanic set out on its first and only voyage, carrying 2,224 enthusiastic passengers and crew. Of course, as the history books and Hollywood have shown, the massive ocean liner did not complete her historic trip from Southampton, England to New York City. Just four days into the voyage, the “unsinkable” ship struck an iceberg approximately 375 miles south of Newfoundland and sank in the early morning hours of April 15th taking with her more than 1,500 people.
Coin Includes Artifact Recovered From Titanic Shipwreck
The sinking of the Titanic is the most famous maritime disaster in history, and now you can own a small part of that story with this commemorative coin that contains an actual artifact recovered from the shipwreck’s watery grave! Struck by Germany’s world-famous Mayer Mint in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this incredible commemorative coin features a colorized image of the famous ocean liner as it tries to navigate its way through a field of icebergs. The design has a slightly washed-out look that evokes visions of newsreel footage of a bygone day. Flip the coin over and in addition to the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II you’ll see a pair of schematic designs for the Titanic with the one at the bottom of the design just above the 2022 year date inset with a certified lump of coal recovered from the ship’s resting place on the ocean floor!
What’s more, this coin was struck using Coin Invest Trust (CIT) SmartMinting© technology to create an amazing High Relief (HR) design that perfectly complements the image of the doomed ocean liner and the ominous iceberg just off its bow. Released on behalf of the Cook Islands, this $5 legal-tender coin also comes in gorgeous proof condition, meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
