CoinGold Tenth-Ounce 2023 Alien

The Ghanaian Cedi has been the currency of Ghana since 1965, when it replaced the pre-decimal Ghanaian Pound.

Apart from the regular circulating coinage, the country has also authorised some foreign mints to issue commemorative and bullion coins under its jurisdiction. These are typically in standard bullion sizes, such as one tenth-ounce of gold (abbreviated as 1/10 oz Au, where "Au" comes from the Latin word for gold, Aurum).

This coin is part of the third release in the Ghana Alien series.

The mint says about it:
Now in it's third year, get ready for an otherworldly adventure with our stunning alien series, titled "Invasion is Here". This extraordinary coin showcases two formidable aliens, one clad in battle gear, preparing to board their rocket ship and embark on an interstellar journey.

Intrigue deepens this year as governments and media outlets unveil revelations about alien phenomena, from soft disclosures to more alarming videos, governments claiming interactions and more. Notable figures like Tucker Carlson have claimed they've received classified information that shook them to their core. As the world grapples with these revelations, the timing begs questions about the significance of these disclosures and what secrets the cosmos may still hold. Brace yourself for an epic exploration into the unknown with our captivating Alien coin.

As humanity delves deeper into the mysteries of the cosmos, some ponder not only the physical but also the metaphysical nature of extraterrestrial beings. Speculations abound, with some believing that aliens are not merely interstellar travelers but spiritual entities, possibly fallen angels from other realms. This belief draws from ancient texts and religious teachings that depict celestial beings descending from the heavens.

As we contemplate the existence of aliens, we're confronted with profound questions about our place in the universe and the nature of existence itself. Whether viewed as beings of flesh and blood or as spiritual entities, the enigma of aliens continues to captivate our imagination and challenge our understanding of the cosmos.
