| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Ascension Island occupies the central field, depicting a shield supported by two sea turtles on a rocky base, surmounted by a lion passant guardant. The legend 'ASCENSION ISLAND' arcs along the upper periphery, with '1/4 oz CU 999' continuing the arc to the right. The date '2025' appears in the lower central field, and the inscription '• QUARTER DOLLAR •' is positioned along the lower rim, all within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A period sailing vessel is depicted in full sail upon stylized waves, commemorating the Portuguese navigator Afonso de Albuquerque, whose fleet rediscovered the uninhabited island on Ascension Day, 21 May 1503, after which he named it. The ship is rendered in fine detail with rigging and billowing sails, centered within the coin's field. The composition evokes the Age of Discovery and the island's founding moment in recorded European history. |
