Title:
Britannia - S S Gairsoppa (Special Edition)
Description:
Each quarter-ounce coin is struck of .999 pure silver recovered from the SS Gairsoppa; three miles below the surface of the sea. Like the standard issue Silver Britannia, the limited edition Gairsoppa version bears the bust of Queen Elizabeth on its obverse, with Philip Nathan’s iconic “standing Britannia” on the reverse. The rim of each coin is struck with “SS GAIRSOPPA” to commemorate the ship and crew and identify the silver that has undergone this extraordinary journey to the depths, and back again.
