The five year series, which commenced in 2001, features a special design on each 10oz proof coin based on the theme of evolution.This coin features an intricate design incorporating representations of ancient and modern timekeeping methods and the latin inscription 'Tempus fugit et nunquam revertitur' (Time flies and never returns).
The obverse design bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
In keeping with the theme of time, the 2002 10oz Evolution coin has been 'antiqued' to give it an aged appearance.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "antiqued" finish, which gives it a distinctive aged appearance. This finish was achieved through a special process that involved applying a chemical treatment to the coin's surface, followed by a gentle polishing process. The result is a coin that looks like it has been circulating for many years, with a soft, warm patina that gives it a lot of character. This finish not only adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal but also helps to highlight the intricate details of the design, making it a truly standout piece in any collection.
