Just 4,000 worldwide: UK '200 years of the Modern Railway' Silver Proof £2

A fitting Silver tribute to 200 years of railway innovation

200 years ago, Locomotion No. 1 made the 26 mile journey from Shildon and Stockton, on the Stockton and Darlington Railway. 

It marked a profound moment in British history, as the world's first steam-powered passenger train journey.

Now, two centuries later, this iconic point of time is being honoured on an official UK Silver Proof £2 coin.

Why this coin deserves a place in your collection: 

• JUST 4,000 worldwide - when you consider that the Flying Scotsman £2 coin SOLD OUT of a similar edition limit, demand will likely exceed availability. 
• Struck from Sterling Silver with Fine Gold plating to an immaculate Proof finish, highlighting every detail. 
• Features William Webb’s specially commissioned design of Locomotion No. 1 steaming ahead.
• Includes the edge inscription: ‘ACTIVE · LOCOMOTION NO 1’ - a tribute to the pioneering spirit of the railway.
• Presented in official Royal Mint packaging with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

This is undeniably one of the most important coins of the year, and a must-have for history and coin enthusiasts alike.
