The Coin Company is proud to present the 2025 $50 Fine Silver Coin - A Whimsical Tale - Steam Locomotive by The Royal Canadian Mint.
Embark on a journey to a retro-future with this steampunk scene, which captures the grit and grandeur of an industrial age imagined through the eyes of a bygone era. A stylized steam-powered locomotive leaves behind a fantastical vintage cityscape and comes alive with a depth of field captured by spectacular engraving and extraordinary detail that blur the lines between historical periods. To top it off, a superb, antique finish lends the piece a storied feel, like a long-treasured artifact from an alternate timeline.
With so many engraved details to be discovered, this design is an enchanting tribute to 19th century optimism, and to the kind of speculative artistry that evokes a world fueled by steam and imagination.
