Comment
Similar to KM#140 (copper-nickel version)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 through natural selection, on the reverse side. This is significant because the Falkland Islands are home to a unique species of fox, the Falkland Islands wolf, which was studied by Darwin during his visit to the islands in 1833. The coin's design serves as a tribute to Darwin's contributions to science and his connection to the Falkland Islands.
