Embark on a journey through Canadian transportation history, as this series pays homage to the nation's pioneering innovations on land, sea, and rail.
Our featured coin in this series brings to life the historic "Toronto," the first steam locomotive built in Canada by the Toronto Locomotive Works (TLW) in 1853. Weighing 29 tons and stretching eight meters in length, this engine was a marvel of its time. Our fine silver collectible coin artfully captures this legendary train, with an added hologram effect that adds a touch of enchantment to the design.
Though comparatively small by today's standards, the Toronto locomotive was considered gigantic in its era. After completion, it proudly graced public display on Queen Street for two days before finding its rightful place on Front Street, where the closest railroad was located.
Each 2000 $20 The Toronto Silver Coin is presented in a specially designed oval-shaped metal case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo on the lid, signifying the exceptional craftsmanship and quality synonymous with the Mint's creations.
