The UK 2009 Charles Darwin Silver £2 Presentation Cover is the most exclusive way to own two of Great Britain's most in demand new issues - the 2009 UK Charles Darwin Silver Proof £2 Coin struck by the Royal Mint and new Royal Mail Charles Darwin stamps.

2009 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin.  Darwin, was a British scientist and naturalist, and revolutionised the way we look at ourselves and the world around us.  In 1831, he set sail on the survey ship, the HMS Beagle, for a five year scientific expedition. During his time in the Galapagos Islands came his breakthrough idea, on his return to England in 1836 he quickly set about putting together his theory of the evolution of species.  It would be 22 years later when he announced his findings.

The Silver Proof £2 Coin has been struck by the Royal Mint and features Darwin facing a chimpanzee reflecting his theory that man descended from apes, alongside the coin is the new Royal Mail stamp issue featuring six different stamps featuring Darwin himself and five other images , each one significant in his theory.

The stamps are postmarked commemoratively on the first day of issue - 12th February 2009 and perfectly compliment the stunning cachet design of Charles Darwin against a backdrop of his writings and a quote from his famous book 'The Origin of Species'.
