Product Overview
Its locomotives were the driving engines of development, while its tracks are the ribbons of steel that are woven into the fabric of a nation. Since its incorporation in 1919, the Canadian National Railway Company (CN) has left its imprint on a modern Canada. The freight trains of today are the continuation of a storied railway tradition. And it began in the Age of Steam, when CN's network connected Canadians from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and supported the communities in between. From transportation to telecommunications, CN's 100-year history is synonymous with a century of progress in Canada.
To commemorate CN's centennial year, this 99.99% pure gold coin features a classic railway design on its reverse. The different locomotives are a tribute to a century of driving innovation, framed by the tracks that continue to be the backbone of our economy.
Designed by Tony Bianco, this coin features a side-by-side view of three CN engines that have powered progress in Canada during the last 100 years. On the far right is No. 6060, one of the last Mountain steam locomotives delivered to CN. Next is Locomotive 6400, a class U-4-a Confederation steam locomotive that was used for the Royal Visit in 1939. In the foreground, CN 2304 is a GE ES44DC model that represents today's efficient diesel freight locomotives. Instead of denticles, train tracks circle the rim and frame a stylized map that alludes to the railway's impact across Canada. The reverse includes the face value "200 dollars," the commemorative dates "1919" and "2019," and the word "Canada." The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
