| Additional information |
Ascension Island, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, has no permanent civilian population — its residents are rotating military and government personnel. Coins issued in its name are produced entirely for the collector market, with no domestic circulation economy to speak of. This piece, at over 1.8 kilograms of fine silver, was almost certainly struck by the Pobjoy Mint, which has held the territory's minting contract for decades.
The denomination of 60 Crowns directly references the sixty years of Elizabeth II's reign marked in 2012.
