| Reverse description | The copper-nickel inner disc features a full-color polychrome depiction of the RMS Titanic listing sharply to starboard as she sinks beneath dark, turbulent waters, with smoke billowing from her funnels and a lifeboat visible in the foreground. The legend THE TITANIC SINKS arcs across the upper portion of the colored disc in raised lettering, with the date APRIL 15 · 1912 inscribed below the scene in the exergue area. The brass outer ring bears the series inscription A HISTORY OF WORLD SHIPPING along the upper arc, and the issue year 1998 along the lower arc, all separated by raised dot stops.
