| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of an early Victorian steam locomotive associated with the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway Company, shown in a three-quarter frontal view on the tracks with a freight wagon to the left carrying barrels. Two figures in period dress — one atop the tender and one standing at the front of the locomotive — are rendered with considerable sculptural detail. The curved legend MELBOURNE AND HOBSON'S BAY RAILWAY COMPANY arcs along the upper right portion of the rim in incuse lettering against the mirror-polished field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway Company opened in September 1854, operating Australia's first steam-powered passenger railway on a line running from Flinders Street to Sandridge (now Port Melbourne). The company remained independent until absorbed into the Victorian Railways network in 1878 — a relatively short commercial life for a concern that effectively launched rail travel on the continent.
Cook Islands has issued commemoratives under this general railway history series for the numismatic wholesale market, with no domestic circulation intended.
