| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of HMS Beagle's famous second voyage, which ran from 1831 to 1836 and carried Charles Darwin to the Galápagos and beyond. Jersey had no particular connection to the voyage — the coin belongs to the wave of commemorative silver issues that Crown Dependencies aggressively marketed to collectors throughout the 1980s, largely as a revenue mechanism rather than from any historical stake in the subject.
The Beagle was a 10-gun brig-sloop of just 242 tons, considered undersized even by the standards of the day for a survey voyage of that duration and ambition.
