| Reverse description | A portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered in the likeness of her appearance during the 1970s, occupies the central field. Behind the effigy, a photographic-style background depicts a street party scene from the Silver Jubilee celebrations of 1977, evoking the public festivities that marked that occasion. The commemorative legend appears prominently within the design, referencing seventy years of Her Majesty's reign. |

| Additional information |
Ascension Island has no permanent civilian population — it is a British Overseas Territory administered jointly by the UK and the United States military, with residents consisting almost entirely of contracted workers and their families. The choice to issue commemorative crowns through Ascension has long been a mechanism for the Saint Helena mint administration to produce legal-tender collectibles outside the main UK framework, keeping them technically distinct from British domestic coinage while still trading on the Crown connection.
The platinum plating here is cosmetic rather than metallurgical — the .9999 designation refers to the plating layer's purity, not the coin's overall composition.
