Sorry to repeat the coins I just posted in the recent acquisition post, but it got me thinking about this new thread. I really like trains and have since I was a young child where I grew up next two a fairly active railroad line. I really like coins from the same time period when my father and uncle collected and were big influences on me getting started in the hobby. So why not combine them both. Coins with trains. I think it would be fun to see how many the members here have. I think I plan on starting a small collection and it would be nice to see some examples. Big, small, old or new...doesn't matter. Post your coins with trains.
There's probably a lot of them but this one springs to mind for me right away. I like this coin a lot.
I have always liked this coin from Albania. 50 lekë 1988; either side shows a train coming out of a tunnel. There are two versions of the coin, and one version actually has a hole where the tunnel is. (Image: MA Shops - if the embedded link does not work, click here.) Christian
In 2010 Germany issued a coin that shows, in the foreground and fairly detailed, an Adler locomotive from 1835. In the background, the silhouette of a modern ICE train. Christian
Between 2007 and 2009, Austria issued a series of six €20 silver coins dedicated to railways. See here: https://www.muenzeoesterreich.at/eng/collect/series/past-coin-series/austrian-railways Christian
