Explore the giants of Australia’s steam heritage with this exciting 2025 50c Steam Giants - Queensland Railways Beyer-Garratt No. 1009 Coloured Uncirculated Coin from the Royal Australian Mint.

The collection gathers together seven of the largest steam locomotives to run in Australia and tells the dramatic story of progress that led to railways across the country racing to build bigger and more powerful machines. From enormous freight haulers to prestigious express engines, the collection includes a representative for each state and the Commonwealth Railways.

The colour print reflects the locomotive’s livery and evokes the excitement of standing trackside and experiencing a flash of colour, heat, noise, and steam as it rushes past hauling its train.
