Celebrate a remarkable piece of Australian railway history with the 2025 Steam Giants Commonwealth Railways G Class G1 50c Coloured Uncirculated Coin from the Royal Australian Mint. Part of the Steam Giants – Australian Rail Heritage collection, this release honours one of the most impressive locomotives of the early 20th century.
Built in 1914 and based on the design of the NSW P Class locomotives, Commonwealth Railways G Class G1 was considered one of the largest and most powerful locomotives operating in Australia during its era. The locomotive played an important role in Australian rail transport, regularly hauling the famous Trans-Australian Express across the country.
Today, G1 remains the only surviving standard gauge locomotive from the Commonwealth Railways fleet and is proudly preserved at the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide, where it continues to be admired by railway enthusiasts and history lovers alike.
The Steam Giants collection showcases legendary locomotives that helped shape Australia’s transport history. With its detailed coloured design and tribute to the iconic G Class G1, this collectible 50c coin is an excellent addition to collections focused on Australian decimal coins, rail memorabilia, and Royal Australian Mint releases.
