Flying Scotsman is the most famous steam locomotive in the world. This icon of British engineering was built at the Doncaster Works and delivered into service in 1923. However, its true fame began in1924 when it was put on display at the British Empire Exhibition and was given the number 4472 and, importantly, the name ‘Flying Scotsman’.
It began the first ever regular non-stop service from London to Edinburgh in 1928 and went on to become the first locomotive in the U.K. to officially reach a speed of 100 mph. With its dashing apple green livery and sleek exterior, it was the shining star of the LNER and all along its route, people would watch in wonder as it thundered past. Now, for the 100th anniversary of the naming of Flying Scotsman 4472, a commemorative gold one-eighth sovereign has been minted featuring a design that is not only struck onto the coin, but is then overlaid with colour to accentuate this iconic locomotive.
