Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Charles Darwin, who is known for his theory of evolution, on the reverse side, while the obverse side features an image of Queen Elizabeth II. This coin was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his book "On the Origin of Species".
