50 Dollars Royal Hudson

The Royal Hudson — Canadian Pacific's 4-6-4 steam locomotive class, named after a 1939 royal tour on which King George VI rode the cab — became an unlikely icon of mid-century North American railroading. The Marshall Islands issued a prolific series of commemorative dollars throughout the 1990s targeting the collector market directly, rarely if ever circulating in the islands themselves. KM#380 is one of dozens of transport-themed issues from this program.
