| Reverse description | Central design features a bold silhouetted composition after James Earle Fraser's iconic sculpture 'End of the Trail', depicting a weary Native American warrior astride an exhausted horse, both leaning forward with a downward-pointing spear, set against a panoramic Western landscape with a mesa visible in the right background. A bald eagle with wings spread soars above the scene to the upper right. A ring of seventeen five-pointed stars encircles the upper field. In the lower right, a circular inset portrait medallion shows a left-facing bust of sculptor James Earle Fraser, inscribed JAMES EARLE FRASER around the border. The legend OKLAHOMA ANA arcs across the upper field, with END OF THE TRAIL inscribed along the lower field. The engraver's initials JI appear to the right of the central composition. |

| Additional information |
Ascension Island — a British Overseas Territory with no permanent indigenous population — has issued commemorative coinage for decades under arrangements that have little to do with local monetary needs and everything to do with the collector market. The "World's Fair of Money" is an annual convention run by the American Numismatic Association, and pieces timed to its release are typically sold on the show floor as souvenirs.
The silver-plated composition rather than solid silver puts this squarely in the promotional tier of modern numismatic issues.
