Throughout the month of July, ill be looking back at historical moments from the past. From conflicts to coronations, sporting moments to royal memories, and famous firsts and lasts, with my love of all things shiny and precious, ill be trying to tie these events in with coins that have been created to commemorate these moments.
On 11 July 1848, Waterloo Station was opened to the public by the London and South Western Railway. The addition extended the railway line into the capital by two miles.
Known as ‘central station’, Waterloo originally had six platforms but has been expanded through the years and is now one of the busiest and most well-known stations in London.
The 2013 London Underground - Train design is the twelth rarest £2 coin in circulation. This is one of two £2 coins released in 2013(top picture) to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the London Underground, and depicts a 1967 Victorian Line train moving towards the observer on the tracks, with key dates and "London Underground" on the outer ring.
