| Reverse description | A world map rendered in low relief occupies the central field, depicting the continents of the Americas to the left and Europe and Africa to the right, evoking the route of Darwin's famous voyage. In the lower right of the field, a finely detailed three-masted sailing ship — the H.M.S. Beagle — is depicted in selective gold plating, sailing across stylised waves. The commemorative legend 200TH BIRTHDAY OF CHARLES DARWIN curves along the upper periphery, while THE VOYAGE OF THE H.M.S. BEAGLE arcs along the lower periphery, with the date 2009 inscribed in the lower central field. A beaded inner border frames the entire design. |
