2026 King Charles III 'Duchess of Hamilton' £2 Gold Proof Coin - Boxed / COA
Built in 1938, LMS 6229 Duchess of Hamilton stands among Britain’s most celebrated steam locomotives—an enduring symbol of luxury rail travel, Art Deco elegance, and British engineering at its finest. Designed for the prestigious LMS express services of the late 1930s, Duchess of Hamilton became one of the true icons of the golden age of steam, admired for both its streamlined beauty and remarkable performance.
Now celebrated for the first time on an official UK coin, this remarkable tribute features a wonderfully detailed reverse design by Gary Breeze, created in partnership with the National Science Museum Group. Complete with the edge inscription ‘LMS PRINCESS CORONATION CLASS 6229’ and accompanied by richly detailed packaging that brings the locomotive’s fascinating story to life, this release is a fitting tribute to one of Britain’s greatest railway legends.
