This year’s centenary has brought about the minting of the first sovereign coins ever to feature this iconic locomotive
The double sovereign design features a side view of Flying Scotsman, with a large ‘100’ above and a pattern inspired by the glazed roof dome at Edinburgh Waverley Station, the northern terminus of the Flying Scotsman route
The image of Flying Scotsman is struck onto the coin and is then colour-overlaid with the 1924 livery in green, black and red
The first sovereign ever to feature genuine metal from a World War Two Spitfire laid into the design.
The central design shows a ‘plan view’ of the Hawker Hurricane from both the air and the ground, inspired by the Spotter Cards used by the public during the War
