| Reverse description | Central scene depicting Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in naval dress uniform alongside Princess Elizabeth in a bridal gown and veil, both facing each other in a wedding tableau rendered in high relief. Two diagonal ribbon banners cross the field, inscribed THE ROYAL CONSORT and LIEUTENANT MOUNTBATTEN MARRIES PRINCESS ELIZABETH respectively. A crowned royal cypher, likely that of Prince Philip, appears in the lower left field. The peripheral legend · 1921 PRINCE PHILIP 2021 · marks the centenary of his birth. |

| Additional information |
Ascension Island holds no permanent civilian population and operates primarily as a British Overseas Territory administered through Saint Helena. It has no independent monetary authority of its own, making its coin issues entirely commemorative products distributed through numismatic channels rather than any form of circulation currency. The "Royal Consort" theme marks Prince Philip's death in April 2021 at age 99, one of dozens of issues released that year across British territories.
Silver-plated rather than solid silver — worth noting for buyers who may conflate the two at a glance.
