| Additional information |
Ascension Island, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with no permanent indigenous population, issues coins primarily for the collector market. This piece marks the diamond jubilee year of Elizabeth II's accession, timed to 2012 commemorative programming across British territories. The nursing subject references a photograph taken by Marcus Adams in 1949, which became one of the most widely reproduced royal images of the postwar decade.
