SS Tilawa Recovered Silver Britannia And Krugerrand

On another forum that I a member of a person showed a 2025 Britannia with a privy mark since it was made silver recovered from the SS Tilawa.

From Wikipedia:

SS Tilawa was an ocean liner of the British India Steam Navigation Company launched in 1924. She was the only passenger liner sunk during World War 2, targeted by a submarine of the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Indian Ocean on 23 November 1942, with the loss of 280 lives.

The ship carried a cargo of silver bullion that was secretly recovered by a salvage company in 2017. This led to a legal dispute over ownership of the cargo between the salvors and the government of South Africa, the original owner of the silver.

This video shows both coins:



Fingers crossed that a dealer in the UK that I buy from will be stocking these since their latest email says they will be getting these.

JM Bullion and Provident Metals appear to have the Britannia coin and other items made with that silver.

I think these will be nice additions to go along with the quarter ounce silver Britannia coins dated 2013 and 2014 with silver from the SS Gairsoppa.
