The Galápagos Islands 5,000 Sucres note features a design that beautifully captures both the natural and scientific heritage of the islands. The obverse showcases the distinctive Blue-Footed Boobies, often called the “Crazy Birds” for their bright blue feet. On the reverse, a portrait of Charles Darwin is shown alongside his famed ship, the HMS Beagle, commemorating his 1835 expedition to the Galápagos that inspired his groundbreaking theory of evolution by natural selection.
