| Obverse description | A Portuguese carrack under full sail occupies the central field, depicted in high relief navigating open seas with billowing waves in the foreground, commemorating Afonso de Albuquerque's discovery of Ascension Island on 21 May 1503, the Feast of the Ascension. A rocky coastline is visible on the left horizon, and a seabird soars in the upper right field, evoking the remote tropical setting of the island's first sighting. The composition is rendered in a detailed pictorial style with no peripheral legend, the entire field devoted to the maritime scene. |
