A coin with some oxides, a capsule (please, check photos).
The 2006 Bermuda 3 Dollars “Famous Shipwrecks – Pollockshields” silver coin with selective gilding is part of the prestigious triangular series dedicated to Bermuda’s maritime tragedies. The Pollockshields was a German-built steamship that sank off Bermuda’s south shore in 1915 during a violent storm, and its wreck still remains a popular diving site today. The obverse features the gilded portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the surrounding inscriptions BERMUDA – ELIZABETH II – 2006. The reverse presents a detailed image of the steamship Pollockshields plowing through the waves, highlighted with gold plating. Above the vessel, the inscription reads POLLOCKSHIELDS – Anno Domini 1915 – THREE DOLLARS, along with a small map of Bermuda. The proof strike enhances the artistry with mirrored fields and frosted details, while the selective gilding creates a striking visual effect. Issued in limited numbers, this coin combines an unusual triangular format, fine engraving, and a dramatic piece of maritime history. It is a valuable acquisition for collectors of shipwreck coins and Bermuda commemoratives.
