2025 $50 FINE SILVER COIN
A WHIMSICAL TALE : STEAM LOCOMOTIVE

1st coin of the A Whimsical Tale series.

Embark on a journey to a retro-future with this steampunk scene, which captures the grit and grandeur of an industrial age imagined through the eyes of a bygone era. A stylized steam-powered locomotive leaves behind a fantastical vintage cityscape and comes alive with a depth of field captured by spectacular engraving and extraordinary detail that blur the lines between historical periods. To top it off, a superb, antique finish lends the piece a storied feel, like a long-treasured artifact from an alternate timeline.

With so many engraved details to be discovered, this design is an enchanting tribute to 19th century optimism, and to the kind of speculative artistry that evokes a world fuelled by steam and imagination.

Step into a world where retro-futuristic technology collides with vintage aesthetics—this is steampunk, a creative style and sci-fi genre that blurs the line between past and future, history and fantasy.

➢ An antique finish imparts a lustrous patina that perfectly captures the look of aged metal and machinery.
➢ While its many components are inspired by historical elements, they are creatively interpreted rather than historically precise.
➢ Gears are a key steampunk design element: these are represented on the reverse and on the obverse, too, where gear shapes form a fun industrial-themed pattern.
➢ Impeccably crafted in 3 oz. of 99.99% pure silver.
➢ Low mintage of just 2,500 coins worldwide.
