| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic nocturnal polar scene commemorating Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–1917. The composition shows the stranded crew of the Endurance gathered upon an ice floe, bearing witness to the luminous display of the Aurora Australis illuminating the night sky above. The scene captures the historic New Year's Eve 1914 episode, rendered with evocative detail contrasting the vast polar darkness against the ethereal glow of the southern lights. The inscription TRANS-ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION appears in the upper field, with AURORA AUSTRALIS and the denomination TWO POUNDS in the lower field, along with the Pobjoy Mint mark PM. |
