Here's a breakdown:
* The 2 pound coin was introduced in 1998. It was designed by Bruce Rushin and features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse (front).
* The reverse side of the coin features a portrait of Isaac Newton and a depiction of his work on gravity. Specifically, it shows Newton sitting under an apple tree, a classic image associated with the apple falling and inspiring Newton's theory of gravity.
The inclusion of Newton on the coin is a tribute to his immense contributions to science and mathematics. He is considered one of the most influential scientists of all time, known for his groundbreaking work in physics, calculus, optics, and astronomy.
So, while the coin isn't directly related to Newton's work in a specific way, it serves as a celebration and recognition of his legacy.
