The story of the SS City of Cairo is an incredible story of tragedy, treachery, courage, and endurance. On a cold November night in the South Atlantic during the Second World War, a wartime passenger ship carrying over 300 passengers and a top-secret cargo was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-Boat.
As the ship sank, neither the Germans nor the passengers realised that the vessel contained an immense treasure of silver coins - worth over €34 million today!
With no news of the sinking reaching the mainland or the nearest land, all hope for the survivors drifting in damaged lifeboats seemed lost. Yet, against all the odds, two-thirds were rescued, and a record-breaking salvage operation would later bring her secret treasure back to the surface and into the record books as it was rewarded the official world record for the deepest treasure recovery in history!
Out of the 8 million coins that were recovered from the shipwreck, only 21,993 were saved (0.03%) - the rest were melted down for their silver value. We have worked tirelessly over the past six years to make these remaining coins available to our customers - and they should simply just not exist.
This record-setting silver coin has literally travelled the world and has now travelled through time to be a silver treasure heirloom for you and your family. Every nick, every bit of toning, and every surface scuff bear witness to over 100 years of history. Don't let this opportunity pass you by and hold history in your hands today!
The SS City of Cairo Shipwreck: King Edward VII Silver Rupee is available to you for just €300 (plus €4.95 P&P) and is only available whilst stocks last!
