Titanic 2025 $1 1oz Silver Black Proof Coin – Downies Collectables
Downies says about this coin:
A distinctive, moving tribute to one of the world’s most famous disasters, with a tiny mintage of just 800, we are proud to present the Titanic 2025 $1 1oz Silver Black Proof Coin.
An official legal tender issue of Niue, this poignant tribute is struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver. Spanning 38.60mm, the expansive crown-sized flan forms a fine venue for the sharply detailed reverse motif, depicting the Titanic as she slipped beneath the icy waters of the Atlantic, taking more than 1,500 passengers and crew to a watery grave.
Using the power of modern minting to capture the essence of the disaster, which took place on a moonless night, just before midnight on the 14th of April, 1912, the coin is distinguished by a stunning Black Proof finish. The rich, dark hues form a stark contrast with the sparkling, polished silver of the ship’s windows, and with the iceberg that took her to the ocean floor. Issued to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the discovery of the shipwreck, the reverse also features the coordinates of the Titanic’s final resting place.
With the limited edition restricted to just 800 coins, and Titanic commemoratives always sparking huge demand, immediate action is essential. Click add to cart now!
The world’s most famous shipwreck…
On April 10, 1912, the excitement and anticipation on the streets of Southampton was palpable. It was on that day, some 112 years ago, that the RMS Titanic was launched. Little did anyone know that, within just a few days, these emotions would turn to distress, fear and devastation, as the news reached England that the ‘unsinkable’ Titanic lay upon the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, along with hundreds of its passengers and crew. Built in Belfast, Ireland, for the White Star Line, the Titanic was launched in May 1911. The largest ship in the world, representing the height of luxury and innovation, the Titanic left Belfast and headed for Southampton, England to commence its ‘Maiden Voyage’. With well over 2,000 passengers and crew aboard, and with the halls of the ship filled dreams of new beginnings, thoughts of returning to loved ones and the celebration of newlyweds, the Titanic pulled away from Southampton on April 10 1912 to begin its first and, as it transpired, final, fatal journey.
At 11.40pm, April 14 1912, the believed invincible Titanic struck an iceberg. Two hours and 40 minutes later, the giant ship sank beneath the waves, taking more than 1,500 people to a watery grave. Whilst the Titanic carried more lifeboats than was required by the British Board of Trade Regulations, it only had half the number of boats needed to save the lives of everyone on board. A mere 31.7% of the estimated 2,224 passengers on board this floating palace survived.
One of the most renowned events in history, the sinking of the Titanic has captivated global audiences since the day she went down – with locating the wreck an endlessly tantalising goal. Many plans to find the wreck of the Titanic were hatched, but none came to fruition, until the doomed ship was located in 1985 by a French-American team originally trying to find two Cold War submarines.
With the discovery of the Titanic’s resting place, 3,800 metres below the waterline, and about 700mm off the coast of Newfoundland, so began a new chapter in one of the most intriguing, most compelling, most tragic stories of modern history.
