    In 1804, Richard Trevithick built a steam engine that managed to move ten tons of iron, for a total distance of nine miles. He completed the journey in 4 hours and 5 minutes! This 2004 Steam Locomotive Proof gold £2 coin itself celebrates the 200th anniversary of this monumental achievement that changed the world forever. Only 1,500 gold £2 coin sets were issued this year.
