背面描述 The silver inner field depicts a dynamic, heroic figure of the Greek primordial god Uranus, shown as a bearded, long-haired male striding powerfully to the right over rocky terrain, dressed in fur and armour, with one arm extended. The planet Uranus with its distinctive rings dominates the left background, surrounded by radiating energy. The gold-plated outer ring features six small planetary medallions evenly spaced around the circumference, with the inscription URANUS at the top and TWO POUNDS at the bottom in serif capital lettering.

附加信息

The British Antarctic Territory, administered from the Falkland Islands, issues coins primarily as a revenue mechanism — they are legal tender in name but circulate nowhere. This piece belongs to a series marking the ice worlds of the outer solar system, a thematic choice with some local logic: the Territory sits within one of the most glaciologically significant regions on Earth, and Uranus's moon Miranda contains some of the most extreme ice cliff terrain yet observed anywhere in the solar system.

Uranus itself was observed by William Herschel from Bath in 1781 — the first planet identified telescopically. The "Glacier" designation in the series title likely references Miranda's Verona Rupes, a scarp estimated at up to 20 kilometers high.
