Named for its wheel configuration of four leading (front) wheels and four driving ones, the iconic 4-4-0 "American" type of locomotive looms large in Canada's railway history as the quintessential all-purpose locomotive of its time. This iconic locomotive is featured on this fine silver collectable coin highlighted with gold plating. Well suited to freight and passenger service, the 4-4-0 is remembered today as the most common locomotive in service between 1850 and 1890, and the first type ever built in Canada.
