On Monday December 20, together with the series dedicated to the «275th Anniversary of the birth of Francisco de Goya», the first part of the new collection of coins «History of the Railroad» is issued. This new series reproduces a selection of Trains that, for one reason or another, have been relevant over time.

This series will follow the same line as the one issued between 2018 and 2019 under the name "History of Navigation" and in 2020 "History of Aviation". The face value will be the same, 1.5 euros, they will be minted in a cupro-nickel alloy with a diameter of 33 mm, and the face on which each of the trains is presented will be in full color.
