Now get precious coins made of recovered Silver from SS Gairsoppa shipwreck
The coins named 2013 Gairsoppa Britannia were made to commemorate the historic event when the British steamship which sailed from Calcutta loaded with 7000 tons of iron, tea and silver were attacked. It was sunk by an enemy German U-boat. Only one member of the crew survived the attack.
"We are thrilled to be partnered with Odyssey Marine Exploration on this historic find”, said Peter Epstein, President of Merit Gold & Silver. “Merit has made it affordable to own silver recovered from the bottom of the ocean at a depth of nearly three miles. In conjunction with The Royal Mint, we have struck a ¼ oz, legal tender coin commemorating this event. Never before in history has a major mint struck such a coin."
