1 oz Britannia Tilawa Privy 2025 £2 BU

Description

The 2025 1 oz Great Britain Britannia Privy SS Tilawa 1942 Silver BU Coin is a special commemorative issue from The Royal Mint, honouring the SS Tilawa, a passenger ship sunk in 1942 while transporting silver bullion. This privy-marked Britannia pays tribute to the lost cargo and the ship’s historical significance, blending one of Britain’s most iconic bullion designs with a meaningful numismatic remembrance.

Struck from one troy ounce of .999 fine silver in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality, the coin features the classic Britannia design, symbolising strength and national unity. The distinguishing feature of this edition is the SS Tilawa 1942 privy mark, discreetly placed on the reverse to commemorate the event. The obverse displays the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.

As a limited and historically themed issue, this coin appeals strongly to both bullion collectors and enthusiasts of maritime or wartime history.
