This year’s centenary has brought about the minting of the first sovereign coins ever to feature this iconic locomotive
The fifty pound sovereign design features a side view of Flying Scotsman, with a large ‘100’ above and a pattern inspired by the stonework in York Minster’s Rose Window, which is one of the stops along the Flying Scotsman route.
