| Reverse description | Central design features a forward-facing portrait of the naturalist Charles Darwin juxtaposed with facing heads of a chimpanzee and an orangutan, alluding to his theory of evolution by natural selection. The composition commemorates the bicentenary of Darwin's birth in 1809 and the sesquicentenary of the publication of On the Origin of Species. The denomination TWO POUNDS appears in the lower field, while the commemorative dates 1809 and 2009 flank the surname DARWIN in the upper legend. The outer bimetallic ring frames the design, accentuating the contrast between the two metallic zones. |
