| Beschrijving keerzijde | The copper-nickel inner disc depicts a front-facing view of a 1967 Stock Victoria line London Underground train car emerging from a circular tunnel mouth, rendered in precise mechanical detail with doors, windows, and running rails visible in the lower field. The tunnel mouth and radiating track lines extend into the nickel-brass outer ring, creating a dynamic sense of depth and perspective. The designers' initials EB JO appear in the lower left of the inner disc. The legend is distributed across the outer ring, with the founding year 1863 to the left and the commemorative year 2013 to the right, separated by raised dots, marking the 150th anniversary of the London Underground. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the London Underground, the oldest metro system in the world, which opened on 10 January 1863 between Paddington and Farringdon Street. The Metropolitan Railway initially used steam locomotives — passengers endured smoke and soot in enclosed tunnels, a fact the company tried to suppress in its early advertising. Electrification didn't come to most of the network until the early twentieth century.
This was the second of two Underground-themed £2 coins released in 2013; the other commemorated the Roundel logo rather than the train itself.
