Comment

This is gold plated version of the coins issued in CuNi and in Silver in 2004.
Krauze wrongly report KM#96 as 2006 Silver, in fact silver version was in 2004 and this one from 2006 is gold plated silver.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique gold plating on a silver proof coin, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item. The gold plating adds an extra layer of elegance and sophistication to the coin's design, which showcases the Branch Line locomotive, a symbol of industrial heritage. The combination of gold and silver also gives the coin a striking visual appeal, making it a standout piece in any collection.
