| Obverse description | Diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, executed in high relief against a mirror-polished field, as designed by Jody Clark. The peripheral legend arcs around the upper portion reading 'ELIZABETH II · ASCENSION ISLAND', with the date '2022' continuing along the lower right, and the denomination 'FIFTY PENCE' inscribed along the base, all separated by raised dots. The engraver's initials appear discreetly below the truncation of the bust. |

| Reverse description | A colourised scene inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale 'The Princess and the Pea', depicting a diminutive princess seated atop a towering stack of mattresses at centre, rendered in polychrome colour print, with a ladder leaning against the bed at lower left. To the right, the dark silhouette of a standing prince faces the princess. The raised legend 'DON'T JUDGE ON APPEARANCES' occupies the upper field in stylised lettering, and a green ground line anchors the composition at the base. The engraver's monogram 'HR' appears in the lower left field. |
