| Obverse description | Conjoined effigies of Queen Elizabeth II facing right: in the foreground, the mature portrait wearing the George IV State Diadem with pearl-drop earrings and necklace, as used on contemporary Commonwealth coinage; behind it, a more youthful bare-headed effigy evoking the early-reign portrait of 1952. The legend ELIZABETH II · 2012 arcs along the upper left periphery, while ASCENSION ISLAND runs along the right, all in raised Latin capitals. |
