Jersey & The Flying Scotsman

From my un-named sources in the Jersey Treasury:

Westminster Collection Limited are issuing six designs from Jersey (as well
as the other Channel Islands) to be issued over an eighteen month period,
commencing this year. The coins are part of THE GOLDEN AGE OF STEAM ISSUE
commemoratives, issued to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the first
locomotive to run on rails.

The collection is being designed by a Royal Mint engraver, Joe Lowe, who is
coincidentally also a steam enthusiast.

The six designs are to be issued at 3 month intervals, commencing this month
in the following order:
The Coronation
The Flying Scotsman
The Golden Arrow
Driver and fireman
Train out of tunnel
The Evening Star

The specifications and prices for the issue are as follows:

Presently, only the Coronation and Flying Scotsman designs are to be issued

Evening Star also being issued in gold.

More to come,
