Marshall Islands 50 dollars C62 Swallow Trains Railways proof silver coin 1996

The 1996 Marshall Islands 50 Dollars C62 “Swallow” silver coin celebrates the artistry and engineering of classic steam railways. The obverse depicts the powerful C62 steam locomotive in side view, with its rounded smokebox front, headlamp, chimney, long boiler, cab and tender clearly rendered. Fine mechanical details include large driving wheels, smaller leading wheels, connecting rods, valve gear and railway track, while a massive textured plume of smoke sweeps dramatically above the train. The C62 was a Japanese steam locomotive class developed for high-speed passenger service after World War II and became one of Japan’s most recognizable railway machines. The reverse displays the Marshall Islands national seal with a central winged figure, radiant sun, star, traditional sailing canoe, palm trees, island vegetation, ocean, maritime emblems, geometric navigation forms and decorative chain border. Struck in silver with Proof surfaces, this detailed railway-themed issue is an attractive choice for collectors of trains, transportation history and world numismatics.
