2025 Great Britain 200 Yrs Modern Railway BU (w/ Display Card)
In 1825, a pioneering steam-powered train made a monumental trip between the towns of Shildon and Stockton. This historic journey, powered by the famous Locomotion Number 1, carried both goods and travelers, effectively launching the era of modern rail transport. To mark the bicentennial of this world-changing event, a special two-pound coin has been struck in brilliant uncirculated cupro-nickel. The design of the coin captures the spirit of early industrial innovation. On one side, artist William Webb portrays the historic locomotive pulling its heavy load. The opposite side displays the official portrait of King Charles III alongside the 2025 issue date and the face value. Weighing 0.23 ounces, this official United Kingdom legal tender piece invites us to reflect on how a single railway journey forever altered the speed of human connection.
