| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bare-headed, diademed bust of Queen Victoria facing left, after the celebrated Bonomi pattern portrait of 1837, depicting the young queen with hair swept back and gathered in a plaited chignon, wearing a simple fillet diadem and a small drop earring. The legend VICTORIA REG DEI GRA is arranged around the field, with the date 18 37 divided at the base flanking the truncation. A border of small raised stars encircles the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Joseph Bonomi the Younger produced his uncrowned portrait of Victoria in 1844 as an unsolicited submission to the Royal Mint, which ultimately rejected it in favor of William Wyon's established effigy. The design sat unused for over 175 years. This 2021 Ascension Island issue resurrects it specifically because Ascension — as a dependency rather than a sovereign state — operates outside the formal constraints of Royal Mint coinage policy, giving the issuer latitude to deploy rejected or historically marginal designs that could never appear on British domestic currency.
