British Antarctic 2 pounds Scott Terra Nova Expedition Ship silver coin 2012

The British Antarctic Territory £2 silver coin (2012) commemorates the Centenary of Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s Terra Nova Expedition — one of the most heroic and tragic chapters in the history of polar exploration. The obverse features the elegant effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscription “British Antarctic Territory 2012.” The reverse depicts the expedition ship Terra Nova anchored in the icy waters of Antarctica, with explorers setting foot on the rugged terrain. Above the scene appears an inset portrait of Captain Scott in uniform, inscribed “R.F. Scott”. The legend “Centenary of Captain Scott’s Terra Nova Expedition” gracefully encircles the design, and the denomination £2 is placed below.

Struck in brilliant silver, this coin captures the courage and sacrifice of Scott and his team during their 1910–1913 quest for the South Pole. A powerful tribute to discovery, endurance, and the human spirit in one of Earth’s harshest environments.
