The Official UK '200 Years of Modern Railway' Brilliant Uncirculated £2 Coin

Mark a pivotal moment in British history – 200 years of the modern railway

On 27th September 1825, Locomotion No. 1 travelled 26 miles with 600 passengers aboard, marking the world’s first steam-powered passenger train journey.

It was a journey that changed everything, marking a revolutionary moment in travel. 

Now, The Royal Mint honours this landmark anniversary with an official UK £2 coin.

Available  today in Brilliant Uncirculated quality, each coin has therefore been struck to a higher standard than circulating coins and comes protectively sealed in official Royal Mint packaging.

It’s a fitting tribute to two centuries of railway innovation.

• Features a design by William Webb showing Locomotion No. 1
• Includes the edge inscription: ‘ACTIVE · LOCOMOTION · NO 1’ 
• Official UK £2 coin, struck to a superior Brilliant Uncirculated quality
• Presented in official Royal Mint packaging

Whether you’re a railway enthusiast or a collector of important UK coins, this release marks a defining moment in British heritage.

Secure yours today for the official Royal Mint price of £17.50 (+p&p) while stocks last.
