| Reverse description | The central field features two superimposed devices symbolic of Ascension Island: in the upper half, a crowned lion passant guardant stands upon a rocky outcrop, representing the British Crown; below, a green turtle (Chelonia mydas) is depicted in profile facing left, referencing the island's notable sea turtle population. The legend 25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORONATION arcs along the upper periphery, with the dates 1953 and 1978 flanking the design on the left and right respectively. The inscription ASCENSION ISLAND appears in two lines across the lower field, with ONE CROWN curving along the bottom border, all separated by raised dots. A toothed border frames the entire composition. |
