Silver Ounce 2023 Unicorn, Coin from Ghana - detailed information

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 ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum).

The mint says about this coin:
Step into a forest where magic and wonder prevail. A young girl, patient and fearless, awaits her ultimate prize - the majestic unicorn. This legendary creature, often likened to the mightiest of lions, can only be tamed by the purity and innocence of a maiden. In this enchanting tale, the girl aims not to conquer through force, but to tame with grace.

Surrounded by woodland creatures and serenaded by bluebirds, she discovers the true essence of this mythical beast. As she rests against a moss-covered tree, a gentle breeze carries the scent of leaves and wildflowers, lulling her into slumber. Hours later, she awakens to a reverential silence. At her feet lies the King of the forest - a dappled-grey Unicorn with a spiralled horn reaching for the stars. Together, they embark on a journey of dreams and possibilities.

The unicorn, a symbol of the impossible, healing, and grace, comes to life in our first-ever Unicorn Coin. Crafted in three exquisite colours, this coin features a radiant unicorn surrounded by a galaxy, its horn piercing the largest star. On the reverse side, Queen Elizabeth II's profile shines amidst a celestial backdrop. Embrace the magic, celebrate your dreams, and seize this precious unicorn before it disappears into the forest for good!
