Charles Robert Darwin:.

Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury in 1809. He was originally educated to become a religious minister, but found he was deeply interested in natural history. Darwin made his name following the second voyage of the HMS Beagle, upon which he studied the subject.

This gold coin also commemorates the 150th anniversary of his later publication, titled 'On the Origin of the Species by means of Natural Selection', in which Darwin argued that natural selection - also known as survival of the fittest - was the method by which genetics altered over time and that evolution was through this process and not controlled by God. This viewpoint was controversial at the time, given the strength of religious conviction in Britain, but is widely held as accurate today.
