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.
All collectable coins have been previously owned. Conditions will vary.
