NGC MS70 • First Releases • 1 oz Silver with Shipwreck Provenance

Struck from Silver Recovered from the SS Tilawa Shipwreck (1942)
Graded MS70 by NGC – a Perfect Mint State Coin
First Releases Designation – Among the Earliest Issued by the Mint

History and numismatics collide in this extraordinary 2025 Silver Krugerrand, struck from silver recovered from the legendary SS Tilawa shipwreck. Torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1942 during World War II, the SS Tilawa was en route from Bombay to Durban when it met its tragic fate—along with tons of precious cargo now salvaged and honored in this historic coin.

Produced by the prestigious South African Mint, each coin is struck in 1 troy ounce of 99.9% fine silver and showcases the classic Krugerrand design: former president Paul Kruger on the obverse and the iconic Springbok antelope on the reverse.

Adding to its uniqueness, each coin bears a special Tilawa privy mark, featuring a miniature rendering of the ship with the inscription “SS TILAWA 1942” beneath—an enduring tribute to the ship and the lives impacted by its sinking.

Certified a flawless MS70 by NGC with the coveted First Releases label, this coin not only represents numismatic perfection, but also commemorates an epic story of survival, war, and rediscovery beneath the sea.

Legal tender in South Africa (1 Rand denomination), though its true value lies in the history and silver it carries.

Secure yours today—a timeless collectible forged from the depths of WWII history.
