| Additional information |
The RENFE 242 was a Spanish steam locomotive class that operated on the Iberian-gauge network during the mid-twentieth century, a workhorse of the postwar reconstruction period when Spain's rail infrastructure was being rebuilt under autarky. The Marshall Islands issued commemorative brass dollars throughout the 1990s targeting the collector market almost exclusively — none of these pieces were ever intended for, or saw, domestic circulation on the islands.
The connection between a Pacific microstate and Spanish railway history is purely commercial, a product of the licensed commemorative coin boom of that decade.
