The iconic 4-4-0 "American" locomotive was the all-purpose engine of choice between 1850 and 1890, and the first type built in Canada. The height of its popularity coincided with Confederation—a time when Canadian union hinged on the promise of a railway link.

Design:
Designed by Canadian artist David A. Oram, your coin transports you to Toronto, Ontario, in the year of Confederation: 1867. The selective application of gold plating immediately draws the eye to the 4-4-0 locomotive of the Great Western Railway (GWR) in the foreground. The left-side three-quarter view allows for a thorough examination of the steam engine's defining characteristics—from the balloon smoke stack and large driving wheels to the cattle guard—all rendered in outstanding detail. In the background, the arched train shed of GWR's Yonge Street passenger station adds an architectural point of interest, while the horse-drawn carriage waiting trackside completes this meticulously engraved snapshot of a bygone era.
