Comment
The silver version of this coin is KM#98, but no KM# for this coin can be foundInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a train crossing a viaduct, which is a rare and fascinating feature on a coin. The design was created by artist Robert Elderton and was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the first steam-powered railway in the United Kingdom. The coin's design is not only visually striking, but it also serves as a nod to the rich history of rail transportation and its impact on the world.
