| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts the Tucana (Toucan) constellation rendered as a star map, with the principal stars connected by lines to outline the constellation figure. A stylised toucan is shown perched above the constellation diagram, accompanied by a compass rose, together illustrating how the constellation appears from the Southern Hemisphere as observed from Antarctica. The denomination '£2' and the inscriptions 'SOUTHERN CONSTELLATIONS' and 'TOUCAN - TUCANA' appear in the field around the central design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The British Antarctic Territory, though a genuine UK Overseas Territory with a functioning legal and postal system, has no permanent civilian population — its "residents" are rotating scientific staff at Rothes and Halley research stations. Coins issued for BAT circulate nowhere in practice, a fact the Royal Mint and its licensing partners understand perfectly well. This piece belongs to a Tucana constellation series, named for the southern constellation visible from the Antarctic sky, itself named after the South American bird by Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman in the 1590s.
