2026 Ascension Island 1 oz Silver Astrolabe Proof (w/ Box & COA)
Struck in one ounce of 0.999 pure silver, this 2026 proof coin from Ascension Island showcases the marriage of historic scientific instruments and modern minting technology. The reverse side presents a highly detailed depiction of an astrolabe, drawing inspiration from the classic brass devices once used by astronomers and navigators to solve complex astronomical problems. This intricate design is rendered in high relief, giving the instrument a striking three-dimensional quality that catches the light. On the obverse, the coin features the official portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. Surrounding the effigy are the inscriptions indicating the issuing authority, Ascension Island, the year of issue 2026, and the legal tender denomination of one pound. Backed by the government of Ascension Island, this legal tender release is highly exclusive, with a tiny worldwide mintage of just 500 pieces.
