| Additional information |
The Perth Mint has issued commemorative silver rounds under Australian legal tender authority since the 1980s, and the Titanic centenary in 2012 produced a predictable surge of collector issues worldwide. This one appeared exactly one hundred years after the ship sank on April 15, 1912, following its collision with an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Of the 2,224 people aboard, only 710 survived — a death toll that prompted the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) in 1914, fundamentally changing maritime law.
Mintage was capped at 5,000 pieces.
