The 2004 Two Pound Coin - Steam LocomotiveRichard Trevithick (1771–1833) was a British inventor and mining engineer from Cornwall. He was an early pioneer of steam-powered road and rail transport and developed of the first high-pressure steam engine. He built the first full-scale working railway steam locomotive in 1804 and Trevithick's unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway of the Penydarren Ironworks, in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.

The edge is milled with an incuse railway line motif.
It was designed by Robert Lowe.
