The coin depicts the profile of RMS Titanic with the goddess Thane looking down on the ship as the Titanic sails through the Atlantic ocean. Erected on 26th June 1920 as a memorial to all those who died, the marble figure of the goddess stands in Belfast, home of the Harland and Wolff shipyard, the biggest in the world at the time, where Titanic was built.
