R.M.S. Titatic – 42 mm, 1 troy ounce, .9999 Fine Silver

The Titanic, a behemoth of human endeavor, emerged from the industrious heart of Belfast’s Harland & Wolff shipyard, its construction begun in 1909 as a testament to an era’s boundless ambition. With a hull spanning nearly 900 feet, this vessel melded opulence with innovation, its interiors aglow with sumptuous parlors and its machinery a marvel of modernity, crafted to conquer the seas. Attila Vinczer, co-founder and current CEO of the Premier Canadian Mint, envisioned a tribute to this saga, commissioning, the late Peter S. Vinczer, his father, fellow founder and Mint Master, to craft a 42 mm, proof quality, .9999 fine silver coin depicting the ship’s tragic end. Under Attila’s guiding vision, Peter’s artistry captured the Titanic’s story, weaving sophistication and simplicity into a silver relic that speaks to all.

The Titanic set sail from Southampton on April 10, 1912, a floating realm hosting luminaries and laborers alike.  John Jacob Astor IV, a colossus of wealth, and Margaret “Molly” Brown, whose tenacity would defy disaster, alongside steerage passengers dreaming of new horizons. These souls, from the elite to the humble, filled the ship with life, their tales a vibrant prelude to the catastrophe Attila Vinczer sought to commemorate. It was his foresight that inspired Peter S. Vinczer to engrave the coin with the sinking’s aftermath, a poignant nod to the humanity aboard, figures destined to scatter across the waves. This silver masterpiece, born of their shared legacy at the Premier Canadian Mint, honors the passengers’ fleeting glory before the plunge.

On April 14, 1912, the Titanic met its doom when an iceberg’s silent fury breached its hull, sending the “unsinkable” giant to the North Atlantic’s depths in a mere two hours and forty minutes. The scene was chaos incarnate, bodies strewn across the frigid sea, some finding frail sanctuary in lifeboats, others swallowed by the night, a moment of raw anguish that Attila Vinczer deemed worthy of eternal memory. Peter S. Vinczer’s 42 mm coin, struck in .9999 Fine Silver with Proof Quality precision, freezes this tragedy in time.  The fortunate adrift, the lost submerged, each detail a testament to Attila’s vision of preserving history’s weight. Together, their creation melds elegance with the stark truth, a silvered mirror to a night that broke the world’s heart.
