The Titanic silver coin is a 2027 Ghana 1 oz colorized silver coin with a piece of real Titanic coal sealed in a capsule at its center. The mintage is 1,912 pieces — the year the ship sank.
A piece of the wreck, sealed in the middle
Most Titanic coins show the ship. This one carries part of the story in physical form: at the center of the design, below the full-color portrait of the RMS Titanic sailing among icebergs, a sealed capsule insert holds an actual piece of coal salvaged from the Titanic wreck. Coal was the ship’s fuel — the bunkers were loaded with thousands of tons of it for the maiden voyage — and recovered coal is among the few genuine wreck artifacts that reach collectors in any quantity.
The coin itself is struck in 1 oz of silver with a colorized finish, so the liner’s black hull, white superstructure and red funnels read the way they do in the famous paintings of the ship. It comes in a capsule with a Certificate of Authenticity covering the coin and its insert.

The silver floor under the story
One troy ounce of silver at a spot price of $52.07 per ounce is about $52.07 of melt value — the floor under whatever premium the coal insert, the colorized artwork and the 1,912-piece mintage command. That is the honest way to read a coin like this: the silver is real, and everything above melt is what the artifact and the story are worth to the next buyer. Our foreign silver coin melt value guide works through melt math for non-U.S. issues like this Ghana strike, and the silver coin melt value guide covers the formula across denominations.

Why the mintage is 1,912
The RMS Titanic struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912 and sank in the early hours of April 15, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. A mintage of 1,912 pieces ties the edition size directly to that year — a small, deliberate issue rather than an open-ended one, sized for the maritime-history and shipwreck collecting audience that keeps Titanic material in steady demand more than a century later.
If you prefer your silver in straightforward bullion form, a standard 1 oz silver bar carries the same metal without the collector premium.
