The HMS Beagle 200th Anniversary Coin Pair

Celebrate 200 years of exploration and discovery with the anniversary of HMS Beagle's first commission. 

Famously, she carried naturalist Charles Darwin on his voyage to the Galapagos, leading to his theory of evolution.

The HMS Beagle’s journey changed our understanding of the world. Now, you can own a tangible piece of that legacy.

An authentic 1826 Shilling from the reign of King George IV, struck in the very year HMS Beagle first set sail, alongside a 2026 UK Silver £2 coin, issued to mark the bicentenary of that legendary voyage.

Each pair has been individually selected and expertly matched for quality and historical significance.
