The obverse is issued to commemorate the 140th anniversary of Charles Darwin's death, centred on a large intaglio-style portrait vignette of Darwin rendered in deep burgundy tones over a multicolour guilloche underprint. To the left, a bold numeral '0' is accompanied by the Union Jack flag, a ring of twelve gold stars, a schematic tree-of-life diagram, and the facsimile handwritten notation 'I think' drawn from Darwin's original notebook. To the right, a vignette illustrates the progression of human evolution alongside various fauna, with inscriptions across the lower margin recording 'Darwin's Theory of Evolution', '"The Origin of Species"', the publication date '(24th November 1859)', and the subject's life dates '12th February 1809 – 19th April 1882'. |
