UK 2013 £2 150th Anniversary of The London Underground Uncirculated 2 Coin Set

The London Underground train coin depicts the front view of a stylised Tube train. The 1958 Underground rolling stock was a benchmark design that determined the basic style of Tube trains right up to the 1980s. It was unique to London, designed to maximise passenger accommodation in a train that could fit into the city’s small-diameter, deep Tube tunnels. The roundel first appeared on Underground station platforms in 1908. In 1916 Edward Johnson designed and added the official Underground typeface to the bar. It has remained the logo for London’s transport system ever since.
