The reverse side of the coin showcases a thoughtfully crafted design by Suzie Zamit, featuring a profile portrait of Charles Darwin juxtaposed with the image of a chimpanzee. The inclusion of Darwin's profile alongside a chimpanzee is a powerful visual representation of Darwin's revolutionary theory of evolution.
