| Reverse description | The central field depicts a heroic scene commemorating Sir Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic expeditions: two polar explorers in heavy cold-weather gear stand in the left foreground, facing right, with two sled dogs seated at their feet in the lower centre. Behind them, a ship with rigging is rendered in detailed relief against a backdrop of Antarctic mountains and open water. The International Polar Year emblem appears at the top of the field. The name SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON is inscribed across the lower field, and the denomination TWO POUNDS is lettered along the lower border. The dates 2007 and 2008 flank the legend INTERNATIONAL POLAR YEAR along the upper periphery, with the Pobjoy Mint mark PM appearing to the right of the denomination. |
