Aanvullende informatie

Rule Britannia was composed by Thomas Arne for the 1740 masque Alfred, commissioned to celebrate the third birthday of Princess Augusta and the anniversary of the Hanoverian succession. It was never formally adopted as a national anthem, but by the Napoleonic Wars it had acquired the cultural force of one. The 275th anniversary falls squarely on 2015, which anchors the commemorative logic here.

Ascension Island's coin program is administered through the Pobjoy Mint and carries no pretense of local circulation.
