A unique and officially licensed Flying Scotsman 65mm commemorative with Philip D. Hawkins artwork and 24-carat gold-plating – this edition is minted to highest quality Proof finish. Available only from The Bradford Exchange – A beacon of modern achievement, Flying Scotsman epitomises the Golden Age of British ingenuity, invention and craftsmanship. Epitomising the power of steam, the engine travelled the length of the country on its iconic route from London to Edinburgh. Throughout its history, passengers enjoyed the luxury of its service, rail enthusiasts marvelled at its records of speed, and Britons were awed by its power and presence as it thundered down the track. And now, 100 years on from the point that Flying Scotsman made its debut from the Doncaster Works, The Bradford Exchange pays tribute to the world’s most famous locomotive with the officially licensed Flying Scotsman ‘Century Of Steam’ Gold-Plated 65mm Commemorative.

This expertly designed 100th anniversary commemorative showcases the dramatic Flying Scotsman artwork of Philip D. Hawkins – founding member of the Guild of Railway Artists. The reverse features his inspiring art of engine number 4472 at Newcastle Station as it prepares for its onward journey to Kings Cross. Every meticulous detail of the engine is captured in his exquisite art and harkens back to the glorious age of steam. The artwork is framed by an art-deco inspired diamond pattern with the engine’s name and 100th anniversary tribute. At the top of the reverse is Flying Scotsman’s anniversary logo, gleaming with its 24-carat gold-plating. The obverse features a bas-relief design celebrating Flying Scotsman’s rich history. The locomotive is front and centre as it steams down the tracks, and the depiction is surrounded by landmarks from its historic London to Edinburgh route.

Each oversized commemorative marking this historic anniversary will be struck to a PROOF finish – the highest quality possible. Each is impressively sized at 65mm diameter – rarely minted due to the technical complexities of striking such a large piece.
