Silver Ounce 2025 Patron Saints - St Joseph, 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 ounce-based sizes, such as one troy ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum).

This coin is the second release in the Patron Saints series by the Native American Mint, and is dedicated to St. Joseph, the devoted husband of Mary and earthly father of Jesus. Revered as the patron saint of fathers, families, workers, and a holy death, St. Joseph is depicted with humility and love. His calm strength and deep faith make him one of the most cherished saints in Christianity.

St. Joseph lived in 1st-century Nazareth and is widely respected as a model of fatherhood, obedience, and trust in God. Though he speaks no words in the Bible, his actions define his character - righteous, responsible, and protective. He is invoked by fathers, craftsmen, and those seeking a peaceful passing. His veneration continues to inspire men and families around the world.
