CHRISTMAS SCROOGE COIN FROM
ASCENSION ISLAND
This 38.6mm copper-nickel 2020 dated 1 Crown from Ascension features
Ebenezer Scrooge counting his money by candlelight. Surrounding him are
three ghosts who visited him that eventful Christmas Eve – the Ghost of
Christmas past, the Ghost of Christmas present and the Ghost of
Christmas future. The coin is based upon Charles Dickens
popular story "A Christmas Carol". Ascension Island does have
a connection with Dickens - it is mentioned in his book Bleak House.
The coin marks the 150th anniversary of the death of this popular
author. The coin, which features this
favorite holiday tale of redemption, has a mintage limit of 10,000
pieces.
