Britain 2 pounds 250 Anniversary Charles Darwin PR69 PCGS piedfort bimetal 2009

The 2009 Great Britain £2 Proof Piedfort coin commemorates the 250th Anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, honoring one of the most influential scientists in history. Struck in a stunning bimetallic design — silver inner disc and gold-colored outer ring — and certified PR69DCAM by PCGS, this coin represents exceptional craftsmanship and tribute to human discovery. The obverse bears the elegant portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, encircled by the legend “ELIZABETH·II·DEI·GRA·REG·FID·DEF.” The reverse, designed by Suzie Zamit, presents a profound symbolic encounter between Charles Darwin and a chimpanzee, illustrating the concept of evolution and the unity of all living beings. The inscriptions “1809 DARWIN 2009” and “TWO POUNDS” complete the design. Issued by the Royal Mint, this piedfort edition, double the thickness of a standard coin, celebrates science, intellect, and the enduring legacy of Darwin’s work On the Origin of Species.
