495 Edition Limit: Steam Locomotive No.1 UK Coin and Stamp Cover

On 27th September 1825, George Stephenson’s Locomotion No. 1 carried its first passengers on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, sparking a transport revolution that changed Britain forever.

To mark 200 years since this pioneering moment, The Royal Mint issued a brand-new £2 coin and Royal Mail issued a brand-new stamp...

Today, you can own both alongside the 1975 Railway Stamp set in the limited-edition Steam Locomotive £2 Coin Cover.

This exclusive presentation unites three historic elements:

1. The UK 2025 Steam Locomotive £2 Coin – struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated finish, featuring a specially commissioned reverse design.
2. A brand new Royal Mail 2025 Steam Locomotive 1st Class Stamp, issued for the bicentenary.
3. The 1975 Railways Stamp Set, honouring the 150th anniversary of British railways.

Each stamp has been officially postmarked by Royal Mail with the First Day of Issue, 25th September 2025, from Darlington – the birthplace of the railway age.
