| Reverse description | Central design features a forward-facing portrait of the naturalist Charles Darwin juxtaposed with the heads of two apes, evoking the theory of evolution by natural selection. The commemorative dates 1809 and 2009 flank the name DARWIN, marking the bicentenary of Darwin's birth, with the denomination TWO POUNDS inscribed along the lower rim. The composition, designed by Suzie Zamit, presents a striking contrast between the human and primate visages within the central field. |
