| Additional information |
Ascension Island sits under British Overseas Territory administration and has no indigenous population — its residents are exclusively contracted military and civilian workers. Coins issued in its name are produced entirely for the collector market, with no meaningful circulation history.
The KM#13b designation distinguishes this gold version from the silver and base-metal strikes of the same design, all released simultaneously for the Queen's 75th birthday in 2001. At 47.54 grams of 22-karat gold, production costs alone ensured mintages stayed extremely low.
