The SS Tilawa, often compared to the Titanic, met a tragic end during World War II. While sailing from Bombay, India, to Durban, South Africa, the ship was struck by Japanese torpedoes and sank into the Indian Ocean. Along with the loss of many lives, 2,364 silver bars went down with the wreck. In 2017, after decades on the ocean floor, a covert salvage mission recovered around 60 tons of the ship’s silver. Now, 1 oz S.S. Tilawa Silver Rounds are available from BullionMax.

The SS Tilawa Shipwreck Silver series offers collectors and investors a unique chance to own silver recovered from a historic wreck. The SS Tilawa was a British India Steam Navigation Company vessel that tragically sank on November 23, 1942, when it was struck by a Japanese submarine in the Indian Ocean. For decades, 60 tons of silver bullion lay hidden until its discovery in 2014, and it was salvaged in 2017.

Each 1 oz S.S. Tilawa Silver Round is available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and packaged in a protective plastic flip, tube of 20, or box of 500. These rounds are made from silver recovered from the wreck of the SS Tilawa, making them a special way to hold a piece of history.

On the obverse of the S.S. Tilawa Silver Rounds, you’ll see a design featuring the SS Tilawa during its voyage. The design includes a detailed map charting the ship’s course from Bombay to Durban, offering a tribute to its journey.

The reverse of the 1 oz S.S. Tilawa Silver Round depicts the ship sailing on peaceful waters. The image of the SS Tilawa shows the vessel from the rear, representing the ship as it sailed on what would be its final journey, carrying silver destined for the South African Mint.
