Anchors have helped keep ships steady for thousands of years, with evidence of their use going back to civilizations around 2000 BCE. Early versions were little more than stones with holes carved through them, later turning into wooden frames weighted with stone or lead to better grip the seafloor.

As seafaring expanded, the ancient Greeks and Romans began using more advanced anchors with iron flukes designed to dig into the seabed. These designs set the basic principles that anchors still follow today. A major step forward came in the early 1800s with the British development of the stockless anchor, which could be stored neatly in a ship’s hawse pipe and deployed more easily. This improvement made anchors far more practical for larger ships and growing maritime trade.

Each 2025 1 oz Antique Samoa Silver Nautical Anchor Coin offered by BullionMax arrives in protective packaging. Inside, you’ll find the coin secured in a presentation box along with a Certificate of Authenticity. The coin itself is shaped like a modern anchor and finished with an antique polish that softens the details and gives it a timeless, aged appearance.

On the 2025 Antique Samoa Silver Nautical Anchor Coin, the main design shows a contemporary anchor with a rope threaded through the top loop and wrapped around the frame at the bottom. Modern anchors come in many styles, from classic Admiralty patterns to plow and fluke designs, each built for different seabeds and vessel sizes, but all share the same purpose of keeping a ship safely in place. On the front of the anchor-shaped coin, you’ll also see the Samoan coat of arms, which serves as the official emblem of the issuing nation.
