For over 130 years, the gold of the SS Central America rested silently 1.5 miles deep on the Atlantic seafloor. Today, that treasure lives on in the Ship of Gold 1/2 oz. Bar, crafted in .9999 fine gold from authentic Kellogg & Humbert assayer gold recovered from the famed shipwreck. Each bar is a tangible link to America’s greatest maritime treasure discovery.
COMMEMORATING THE MOST VALUABLE GOLD BAR IN THE WORLD
These modern commemoratives honor the legendary “Eureka Bar”—the largest and most valuable California Gold Rush artifact ever discovered.
- Exhibited globally in the iconic Ship of Gold exhibit
- Insured for an astonishing $10,000,000
- Considered by many to be a priceless national treasure
The “Eureka Bar” is more than gold—it’s a monetary document struck in pure California Gold Rush gold. It survived only because it sank with the SS Central America in 1857, preserving it beneath the Atlantic until its miraculous recovery nearly 140 years later—what Life Magazine called the “Greatest Treasure Ever Found.” Your Ship of Gold Commemorative Bar is created in tribute to this unparalleled artifact using gold from bars.
UNMATCHED PROVENANCE — MADE FROM FOUR HISTORIC GOLD RUSH INGOTS
The gold used to produce these commemoratives comes from four original Kellogg & Humbert monetary ingots, manufactured in San Francisco during the height of the Gold Rush and recovered from the 1857 wreck:
- #983 – 121.29 oz
- #1018 – 113.74 oz
- #490 – 106.85 oz
- #814 – 121.61 oz
These ingots represent real Gold Rush commerce—authentic monetary gold from the mining frontier, preserved only by the tragedy and later recovery of the SS Central America.
