This is the first in a breathtaking series of three coins that explore Canada’s history through some of its most iconic locomotives! Next stop: the Transatlantic Railroad.The selective application of gold plating shines the spotlight on the locomotive, while the gold-plated rim and effigy on the obverse ensure an elegance that makes this a truly exceptional keepsake.


Like modern engines of change, Canada’s locomotives have been instrumental in shaping our nation throughout its 150 years of history. The Locomotives Across Canada series speaks of a nation coming into its own through some of its most iconic engines—including the 4-4-0, which was the most commonly used locomotive at the time of Confederation, and the first type built in Canada.


The reverse design by Canadian artist David A. Oram transports the viewer to Toronto, ON, in the year of Confederation: 1867. The selective application of gold plating immediately draws the eye to the 4-4-0 locomotive of the Great Western Railway (GWR) in the foreground. The left-side three-quarter view allows for a thorough examination of the steam engine’s defining characteristics—from the balloon smoke stack and large driving wheels to the cattle guard—all rendered in outstanding detail. In the background, the arched train shed of GWR’s Yonge Street passenger station adds an architectural point of interest, while the horse-drawn carriage waiting trackside completes this meticulously engraved snapshot of a bygone era.
