| Reverse description | Two Ascension frigatebirds (Fregata aquila) are depicted in a naturalistic rocky coastal setting: a male frigatebird perches prominently on a rocky outcrop at left, its inflated scarlet throat pouch displayed upward toward a circular orb representing the sun, while a second frigatebird soars dynamically in flight to the upper right with wings fully extended. The arc legend WWF CONSERVING NATURE curves along the upper periphery, with the denomination 50 PENCE and the date 1998 inscribed in the lower right field. |
